| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners, it's just me today. A few patrons wrote in and asked me to talk |
| 0:05.7 | about the rape case that happened at Stanford University. And at first, I was avoiding the news |
| 0:14.5 | about it because the news depresses me. But after a number of patrons asked me to talk about it, I decided to do a deep dive |
| 0:23.9 | and to talk about it here on the show. This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your |
| 0:30.9 | host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I am chair of the couple and family therapy program at Antioch University, |
| 0:39.0 | Seattle, and I'm also a licensed marriage and family therapist. I just want to give a little warning at the beginning and say |
| 0:43.9 | that it is a very difficult topic for everyone, I would hope. It was very hard for me to read about all of this. And I am to some |
| 1:00.5 | extent still a little traumatized and rattled upon reading all this. I just have been |
| 1:07.9 | reading about it for the past five or six hours and reading all the accounts |
| 1:13.5 | and all the statements and and it's uh you know and i've been in visualizing all of the events in |
| 1:21.8 | my mind and uh it's a difficult thing to read. |
| 1:42.9 | And so you should be warned that if you have PTSD or dissociation around sexual trauma or really any kind of victimization, you should be careful about listening to this sort of stuff. |
| 1:52.1 | I'm going to try to not be unnecessarily graphic, but there are some things that need to be talked about, I think, that are relevant. |
| 1:55.4 | And so you should be warned about that. |
| 1:57.0 | Okay. |
| 1:59.6 | So what can I say? Oh, and another caveat here is that everything I'm about to say is gleaned from the Internet, which is, as we know, is rife with misinformation. |
| 2:14.6 | And I tried again, I tried to go to original sources for everything and I must |
| 2:20.7 | have read I don't know 50 to 100 different sources and so I'm trying to be as accurate as possible |
| 2:28.2 | but there's no way that all of this is 100% accurate so just keep all that in mind. All right. So the perpetrator, |
| 2:38.9 | his name is Brock Allen Turner. Brock Turner is his name. He was born in 1995. And that means |
| 2:50.5 | that right now he's 20 years old and during the assault which was a |
| 2:55.3 | year ago he was 19 I believe I think he had just turned 19 he went to high school in |
