In the week since he received a six-month jail sentence for committing sexual assault, the former Stanford University student Brock Turner has become a symbol of the rapist who got off easy. But other aspects of the case suggest a different interpretation, signaling that the cultural and legal responses to rape are shifting, in the direction that victims and their supporters have long fought for. Turner’s light sentence means that the reform they advocate is incomplete. But his conviction, the punishment he received from Stanford and the public outcry over his sentence all suggest that men who act like Turner have far more reason to think they’ll pay a price than they once had.
