A former Stanford University swimmer who raced in the 2012 US Olympic trials has been charged with raping an intoxicated, unconscious woman on the schools campus.
The San Jose Mercury News reports Brock Allen Turner was charged Tuesday with five felony counts on suspicion of attempted rape and penetration with a foreign object.
She was lying on the ground unconscious, not moving, Deputy District Attorney Alaleh Kianerci told the San Francisco Chronicle of the alleged victim, who was not a student at the university.
Prosecutors say the attack happened Jan. 18. Two men riding bikes on campus saw an unconscious woman on the ground with a man on top of her.
Turner ran away, but the two bikers chased him down and held him until police arrived.
Kainerci praised the Good Samaritans and said they acted because what they saw shocked their conscience.
Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said Turner, a 19-year-old freshman from Dayton, Ohio, voluntarily withdrew from the university on Tuesday. Turner is barred from campus...

The implication is bicyclists
I for one am glad she is out of there. Hoping where she is now is better. I worry about young women these days. Not safe anywhere.
Where she lives in Michigan is fine, albeit the commute has its hazards. The other is actually at more risk in Illinois.

For this creep, total emasculation seems inadequate.

Well, my annual jury duty summons will be arriving about the time this dirtbag comes to trial in my area....
Wow...you beat me to it.
And there would have only have had to have been ONE Biker. Not Two.
You never know what to expect from those yopung men.
Some people still don’t think that the juice killed anyone. I think that is far harder to believe than to believe Cosby didn’t rape anyone as far fetched as that is.
Yep, good chance of that. Unfortunately had they been Hell’s Angels the unfortunate woman might not be alive either.
LMAO!
Because they both look totally gay.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
All to often I think they actually believe that the "rule of law" exists for everyone else and not them.
You need to pay closer attention, the quote you posted in your response is not what I wrote and you missed the point entirely.
For sure Illinois would be worse. That state has never had a chance since the mafia and other degenerates decided to homestead there.
Last I saw a HA, he was wearing an Armani suit.................
Unconscious co-eds just lying all over the Stanford campus?
My question is to you: Why such an assumption?
Think of any other place two bicyclists might stumble across a rape.
If in a park, would you conclude: "Unconscious hikers just like all over county parks?"
Really?
You don't somehow think somebody bent on rape wouldn't "usher" somebody already drunk outside to commit an act of violence?
Is your post meant to blame the victim for the perp's actions?
If the perp hadn't done what he did, would we even be having this convo?
