Without Consent
On the evening of October 12th, 2016 I attended an event called “Got Consent” sponsored by learning beyond the classroom. During this event, Officer Dorcey and several guest speakers spoke about domestic violence and sexual consent. In this paper, I will argue that without consent or while under the influence of alcoholic substance it is not okay to pursue sexual activity.

For instance in a lawsuit recently filed against a young male who competitively swam for and attended Stanford University by the name of Brock Turner. Brock sexually assaulted a young woman who was intoxicated as well as he was behind a dumpster in an alley. Thankfully a jogger noticed the spectacle and reported the horrifying scene to the authorities.The women he sexually assaulted later woke up in the hospital scared, and alone with no recognition of her purportrater. In court Brock was sentenced to the minimal sentence of three months in Santa Clara County Jail due to his academics, and sportsmanship the California Judge Aaron Persky who was later suspended decided not to “ruin” Brock’s future. In my opinion this is gravely disturbing, this young woman's life will forever be affected by Brock’s choices on this night, but his life will only be paused for a few months. The most disconsolate fragment in the case of Brock vs. The People is that Judge Aaron Persky’s decision is affirmed which is defined as the order being found valid and will stand as decided. This means there will never be true justice for the women who lost so many things that night including her personal values, dignity, respect, and most of all her rights as an American
