I'm starting to think you are a special kind of stupid. In California, Penal Code 289 PC "Forcible Penetration with a Foreign Object" falls under the umbrella of California rape law. It was rape, which is why every article about the case has the word "RAPE" in it.
Brock Turner, 20, was convicted of three felony charges: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated woman, sexually penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object.
You know how it goes, you meet a girl at a party, one thing leads to another and you stick a foreign object in her. I'm sure she consented to this because Brock testified that she did. And what woman doesn't enjoy having these sort of romantic moments in the dirt behind a dumpster. For perspective, the maximum sentence for this is 16 years.
Turner testified that the Palo Alto woman, who was 22 at the time, was awake and conscious throughout their encounter and that he never intended to rape her. But the woman did not wake for at least three hours and had a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
PC 289 forcible acts of sexual penetration is a felony in California law.
In most cases, it carries a potential California state prison sentence of three (3), six (6) or eight (8) years, and a fine of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000)
So if the law suggests 3 years as a minimum and the judge decides to give him 6 months, his time will be served in county jail rather than state prison and he will likely be out in 6-8 weeks for good behavior.
Here is what the DA had to say on the matter:
“The punishment does not fit the crime,” Rosen said in a statement. “The predatory offender has failed to take responsibility, failed to show remorse and failed to tell the truth."
Even after being caught in the act, and being found guilty of three felonies, Brock still continues to deny he sexually assaulted her.
So you honestly believe that a black kid, even with stellar grades and wonderful letters of recommendation, would have gotten this same sentence? Really? Really? Lets review our history:
Just prior to the Civil War, an 1861 Georgia law specified a mandatory death sentence for rape of a white woman by a black man. A white man raping a white woman could receive a sentence of two to twenty years. Rape of a black woman had no mandatory sentence.

Water under the bridge right?
A study in California showed that whites charged with a felony were more likely than blacks or Hispanics to have charges reduced or dismissed. Of the first-time offenders in San Francisco, the courts sentenced 4 percent of the white offenders to state prisons, 7 percent of black offenders, and 11 percent of Hispanic offenders.

Another major point that I don't have time to drill into your thick skull is what this case says about the rights of men versus women in this country. Even if you can't understand that systemic racism is alive and well, can you not see that the judge prioritized the attacker over the victim? What does this say about inequality between the sexes when a judge is more concerned how a rape affects the rapist than the victim?
Here is what the judge had to say:
Wow!“A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him"
No mention of what sort of impact being raped has on the victim. If you decide to respond to this post please refrain from using such cliches as she was drunk or she was asking for it. Here are some questions to ponder from the victim herself:
If I had been sexually assaulted by an un-athletic guy from a community college, what would his sentence be? If a first time offender from an underprivileged background was accused of three felonies and displayed no accountability for his actions, what would his sentence be?
