Here is a college textbook:

Click “Look inside”, then table of contents, then page 20.

Here is an example of media coverage on the discovery by a student in a course using the textbook:

I’ve got to be honest, I am no fan of Brock Turner but I do not agree with his image being utilized in that manner. I would rather see a picture of the judge who sentenced him next to an explanation of why sexual assault is such a persistent problem in our society.

This is part of his punishment. He is not just a rapist. He brutalized an unconscious woman. He is a sick thug who is emblematic of a sick culture. And yes, that judge, as well as Brock Turner’s odious father, need to be represented this way, too.

Good. He didn’t serve nearly enough time but it is kharma that he will live on forever in the college textbook as a convicted rapist.

I don’t know who is more odious, Turner or his father.
