The Brock Turner case lead to what changes in California law?
What will be an ideal response?
The Brock Turner case led to outrage with people who did not know the law in California. Those who were knowledgeable of California law were surprised that he served any jail at all. The outrage has led to California to change the definitions to add a section to the penal code to remove the need for a penis to penetrate a vagina. The code also changed to “all forms of nonconsensual sexual assault may be considered rape.” This allows for crimes that Turner committed to be considered rape and have a harsher sentence.
