A high-profile sex assault case in California reverberating across the globe has prompted soul searching in America and reignited a debate about rape culture on US college campuses. The case burst into the spotlight after the victim made public a powerful letter to the judge who sentenced her attacker -- 20-year-old former Stanford University student Brock Turner -- on June 2 to six months in jail on three felony convictions. A letter to the court by Turner's father, stating that the blond, blue-eyed former Stanford University swimmer did not deserve to be jailed for "20 minutes of action," further stoked the debate about race and privilege.
