This is a major victory for Alpha widows. Now they can exact their revenge on "the one that got away"...

How many of you live in California and will consider leaving the state if Hitlary wins?

If you ever get (falsely) accused of raping a non-rich woman, consider using Hillary's defense (of Bill in her case): "The accuser has no CV to fall back to, so she's making things up". Her actual words (like, 20 years ago).

Seriously, fuck this Victorian sexual repression, happening right here in California.

And yet, the very writers of this law, if English, would rather be dickriding the Vikings.

This is wack.

I've lived in this state almost my whole life, and banged the vast majority of my notches here. Hold onto your hats!

Quote:A woman was reported to have been raped in a dormitory at Stanford University on Friday, the same day Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law spurred by the Brock Turner case that would toughen sentences for sex assault convictions.

The woman told campus security that a man whom she did not know raped her early Friday in a dorm on the east side of the university, according to an alert issued by Stanford’s Department of Public Safety. Campus police said there was no information about the man or specific details about the attack.

“Stanford University does not tolerate sexual assault, sexual misconduct or sexual harassment,” police said in the alert.

University spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said Stanford officials have not received any additional information since the assault was reported Friday.

The on-campus assault was reported hours before Gov. Brown signed Assembly Bill 2888 into law, mandating prison sentences for certain sexual offenses such as rape, forced oral copulation and sodomy. The bill will prevent judges from handing light sentences to offenders convicted of sexually assaulting unconscious or severely intoxicated victims.

The law was inspired by the case of Turner, a former Stanford swimmer who was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster on campus after a fraternity party.

Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months in jail for the assault because he said a harsher penalty would have a “severe impact” on the former athlete. Turner served half of his sentence due to California’s felony sentencing realignment.

The sentence sparked outrage, with critics saying it was too lenient and set an ominous precedent for sexual assaults on U.S. college campuses.

The victim’s 12-page, single-spaced letter, which she read in court and has been read by senators on the floor of Congress, struck a chord with millions frustrated by the stigma tied to sexual assault cases, said Santa Clara County Dist. Atty. Jeff Rosen. He said people were angry “at those who continue to misconstrue these assaults as sex gone a little too far.”

“The national awakening about campus sexual assaults started by Emily Doe’s powerful letter continues to grow, changing our minds and our laws,” he said in a statement Friday. “While prisons are not appropriate for every person convicted of a crime, rapists belong in prison.”

Persky, who faced a recall effort due to fallout from the sentence, was later moved to a civil court in San Jose to reduce courtroom distraction following the Turner case.

Notice the lack of details.

False Memory Syndrome is real. This belongs on my list of things that I believe that most intelligent people don't. Research by psychologist Elizabeth Loftus shows that false memories can indeed be planted. Naturally, she has been villified by the usual suspects. She testified at the McMartin preschool trials, a modern-day equivalent witch trial. Eyewitness testimony is also more unreliable than people generally realize.

False Memory Syndrome is bunk, it was mostly set up to help powerful pedophiles discredit child molestation victims.

This law sucks, but one side benefit is that Roman Polanski, who raped a 13yr old girl, is no longer off the hook.

If the law was limited to DNA ( for example- a woman is forcibly raped and DNA is recovered , the criminal is not in the national database. 30 years later he is caught raping someone and his DNA is linked to his earlier crime.)I would not have an issue. However we are talking pure subjective testimony, drunken regret, and vindictiveness playing a large role. Not good.

I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember the day-care sex abuse hysteria / satanic ritual 'moral panic' from the late 80s. There weren't any 'powerful pedophiles' involved in these cases, but rather uneducated day-care workers.

I distinctly remember those cases, some people are still in prison due to that hysteria. The scary part was a lot of those cases originated from a mentally ill woman making absurd claims then (par for the course) committing suicide. Some of the kids testimony was demonstrably false, and was blown up into a nationwide hysteria.None of the main stream media will admit to it now, but they stoked the flames.

Witnesses lying under oath is definitely not bunk however, regardless of your opinion on false memory syndrome.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but:

My main issue with this is that after a few days of an actual rape by force there probably isn't much evidence. After a decade there's none unless the women kept a soiled item.

So it's a women's word against yours. Read the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis and others throughout the Bible to learn how valuable that word is.
