    Don’t rapists usually get about 7 years in prison? Does anyone know why he was sentenced to up to life in prison when more brutal rapists who aren’t rich and famous have received much shorter punishments?

      What I saw on another thread was something about California passing minimum sentencing laws for rape, they specifically said it was a reaction to the small time given to Brock Turner, but I don’t have sources for any of that, just what another comment I read said.
