Dear Stanford rapist,
You don't have a name. The victim was identified as 'unconscious woman', therefore, you don't have one. I know you as the kid who took the power and trust from a young woman. The girl was intoxicated and you took advantage. How dumb can you be? I think your sentence should have been longer and I am glad you got banned from the USA swimming team. Daddy probably paid that judge off. Nice to be rich, isn't it? I also blame your parents. They should have raised you better. Anyone who rapes or sexually assaults anyone is a horrible individual. I don't know what possesses you to do such things. You took away pride and a sense or worthiness. You made things harder for the victim. It blows my mind that you apologized after. You put the victim and the family through a lot of stress and hurt. Do you know what pain you put her and her family through? Do you know what this could cause her for the rest of her life? You knew what you did. As I said, the judge was wrong. How can he have given such a low sentence to a crime that deserved more? Who cares if you are a good swimmer! It doesn't make sense. Nothing in the judicial system makes sense. I feel you have to pay the price for the crime you commit. For your father, he is pathetic. He should know better. Your father should learn what twenty minutes of action before he even said anything. He should have taught you right from wrong. I don't know why your sentence was shorter than any other rapist. It's not fair. Everyone should pay equal prices for their harsh actions.
My heart goes out to the victim and every victim of rape. It's hard to come back and feel some power and trust for anyone. No one deserves to be touched when you don't want it. There are times when you hate, times when you love and times to forgive. The months to come are going to be hard but with help from friends, family and the choice of seeking professional help. You will start to realize you're better than this. What happened to you,didn't deserve to be victimized. God always finds ways to repay sinners and karma will come around. You are stronger than you know and it took a lot of courage to speak up and out to the public. I commend every rape victim out there. You spoke out, took time and effort to be better again. Just keep believing in yourself.
