Earlier this year, all over the news I saw coverage of a case including a woman that got completely drunk and blacked out, the next morning she woke with no recollection of what had happened the night before, she did not remember getting so drunk and being taken behind a dumpster and being raped. She didn't find out about all these thing until the next morning and even then she didn't believe it. But this wasn't the worst part, the worst part was that she didn't even know the men that had done this to her.

A few weeks later she was forced to relieve the incident that she had no memory of by going to court to fight her case in order to have the man that raped her sentenced to prison, of course she won but that didn't make it better, far worse, he was sentenced to 6 months. She wasn't given justice she was just reminded that she had been raped and that she would not remember it. Instead of helping her to overcome something she had no control over they made it far worse by reminding her of it.

Although he was punished and he was given a sentence where he would spend time isolated from society and in some respect, "getting what he deserves" but that isn't completely the case, he was given a lenient sentence and was given sympathy when he should have been shamed and berated. But instead a judge decided that giving him a sentence of 14 years would be far to harsh. Petitions were signed to have the judge removed and for the young man known as Brock Turner the Stanford Rapist, were signed, millions of people willing to stand behind not only this young lady, but the many woman and girls that are raped and violated everyday.

Yesterday the same men that raped this woman was given an early release because of serving a claimed "good time." He served 3 months and was released, he was told that because he behaved in a manner that was believed to be good. He was released because they believed that he was be a good inmate. And although he is being forced to register as a sex offender, and he will be given consequences such as not being able to live in certain places, and checking that box on applications that asks if you have been convicted of a felony.

And although many people would believe that the sentences he was given suffices and that he has learned his lesson, or even that he is going to suffer the consequences because he is a registered sex offender and will have to follow certain rules, but in reality that isn't enough.

In reality it is reminding the woman he raped that she will never get the justice she deserves and she will never be able to forget that she was raped. This will be a constant reminder that she lives in a world where the justice system does not care about her enough to take into consideration that releasing the man that raped her is going to have a great effect on her. Not only this but this is also a great injustice to the woman that are raped everyday. Women that still experience the trauma, women that see cases like this one and see that no justice is served, women that feel that they were right not to report a rape because the same would have been true for them.

We need to stop worrying about a man that didn't stand during the national anthem we need to stop worrying about the fact that he felt no respect by the country he lives in so he decided that he didn't want to show respect to a country that did not show him respect back. Still we are more worried about this than the fact that a man who raped a woman is released from prison after only serving half his sentence. We need to wake up America stop justifying rape and making excuses for it. We need to show the world that in no way will rape be tolerrated.
