I want to just be 100% transparent and share that when i heard about rob turne sentencing i was outraged. because i knew that, you know, or at least a believed that ha he been a black man or a man o color and had the survivor bee a white women, the sentencin probably would have looked ver different. at the same time, as a survivo of childhood sexual abuse as well as rape and in college, i know that incarceration isn going to stop rape and it is not necessarily goin to make me safe so i, for me i was holding the bold end o recognizing that it didn t fee like a fair sentencing, even though i am not in favor o course role responses to sexua any form of harm but i also empathized with everybody who was enraged abou his sentencing
