Stanford Sexual Assault

A former Stanford University swimmer, whose six-month jail sentence was decried by protesters as too lenient following his conviction of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in 2015, was released from a San Francisco-area jail today.

A juror who helped convict a former Stanford University student-athlete of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman complained to the judge about his "ridiculously lenient" six-month jail sentence, which the juror said made a mockery of the panel's verdict, a newspaper reported Monday.

Sadness over a hometown boy's fall. Anger at a perceived light sentence for a brutal crime. Disgust with an international spotlight.

A fledgling campaign to recall the judge who sentenced a former Stanford University swimmer to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman gained momentum on Friday as three prominent political consultants joined the effort.

The former Stanford University swimmer, whose sentence for sexual assault has been widely condemned as too lenient, spoke of drug and alcohol use before entering college, undermining his claims to a judge that he lacked experience with alcohol, court documents showed on Friday.

As support continues to pour in for the victim in the Stanford University sexual assault case, an Ohio musician is facing widespread backlash and concert cancellations after she stood up for the convicted attacker, Brock Turner.

The six-month jail sentence for Brock Turner, the former Stanford student who was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman after a fraternity party in 2015, ignited a national debate about how U.S. courts handle such cases.

A former Stanford University swimmer whose six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman ignited widespread outrage will leave jail two months early.

Days after a sexual assault victim wrote and then read a powerful letter to her Stanford University attacker, the two graduate students who intervened during the assault said they were moved by her words.

Public outrage over the lenient sentencing of a star Stanford swimmer convicted of sexual assault has been compounded by a controversial letter written by the athlete's father.

The two bikers skidded to a stop on "Scary Path." True to its nickname among Stanford students, the dirt trail on the edge of campus was home to something sinister in the early hours of Jan. 18, 2015.
