The Stanford rape case regarding rapist Brock Turner's assault on an unconscious, intoxicated woman has been the hot topic for weeks now. Since his sentencing in June 2016 of only six months in jail (despite the jury's wish to sentence him to six years in prison), Turner's case has received every criticism: classism, rape culture, sexism, white privilege. The list goes on.

The outrage that followed the verdict -- which took almost a year and a half to determine -- is more than understandable. It has caused unbelievable amounts of pain for the victim and her family, and shed some serious light on flaws within the justice system.

I'm sure by now we've all read the moving and powerful letter written by the victim, the petition to remove Judge Aaron Persky from his position and the absurd letter from the defendant's father, Dan Turner, that is the perfect example of everything wrong with society when it comes to rape.

What's new to the case is USA Swimming banning Brock Turner of membership for life. Though Turner has not been a member since 2014 (and was not a member at the time of the crime) he will be ineligible to reapply for the rest of his life.

The organization released a statement claiming that "[h]ad he been a member, he would have been subject to the USA Swimming Code of Conduct," which would have resulted in an immediate termination of his membership in addition to the ineligibility.

"USA Swimming strictly prohibits and has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, with firm Code of Conduct policies in place, and severe penalties, including a permanent ban of membership, for those who violate the Code of Conduct" (CNN.com).

At least someone is acknowledging the fact that with a severe crime comes severe punishment (take note, Mr. Persky).

According to People magazine, "Turner lamented at the end of his swimming career, saying 'I've lost my chance to swim in the Olympics. I wish I never was good at swimming or had the opportunity to attend Stanford,' he added."

We do, too. Maybe then the poor woman you attacked would've never encountered you.

While Turner may have walked off with a slap on the wrist over the brutal and violent assault, he will not be suiting up to swim anytime soon. All hopes of his professional swimming career, and any shot at the Olympics, are gone.

As they should be.
