On January 18, 2015, America found out how injustice our criminal justice system really is. Former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner was arrest for sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious woman and was given six months in jail, but due to good behavior he was let out three months earlier. His accuser is trying to recoup emotionally about the trial. Nate Parker, the producer of Birth of a Nation and former Penn State student was innocent of raping an unconscious woman in 2001 due to the fact that they had sexual relations before. His accuser committed suicide due to an emotional fallout. For three years an Oklahoma cop, Daniel Holtzclaw raped 13 poor black women and one woman told her story and made the other victims testify

I’m delighted that we are both thinking alike. As I seen on the news how Turner was basically getting away with rape with such small charges, I thought to myself this system we call the criminal justice system is getting corrupted.

All of the other articles about this case spoke heavily on what he has to go through, but not once said what his accuser has to go through. For instance, like the case with Nate Parker was accused of raping an unconscious woman in 2001, she committed suicide because she as dealing with an emotional fallout from the case. The only reason he didn’t serve time is because he had sexual relations with her before. That too could happen to Turner’s accuser. Statistically, women are sexually assaulted by someone they know. If you know someone you will more than likely let them into your house. Due to the fact she knew him, he didn’t have to watch her every move to find the right time because he knew more than likely she would let him into her home. They should definitely put more interest in gaining the females lives back especially since she had to find out what happened to her from a daily newspaper. Experiencing something like that will tear a girl up emotionally and maybe never
