The Brock Turner case: Sexual assault, mob justice, and the war on “rape culture”

This case is clearly being used to whip a new moral panic about campus rape and “rape culture,” which will be used to step up the policing of consensual sex and punish innocent people (most but not all of them men). Whatever one thinks of the sentence, letting self-righteous outrage mobs and ideological zealots such as Stanford law professor Michele Dauber shape law and policy is extremely dangerous.
