At the intersection of white male privilege, classism, and undelivered justice lies the case of Brock Turner — the 20-year-old recently convicted of sexually assaulting a 23-year old woman by a dumpster.

Despite being found guilty on three charges of felony sexual assault, the former Stanford student-athlete received just six months in a county (not federal) prison and probation as punishment. Yet a report has shown Turner will reportedly get out after serving just three months in jail.

It's almost impossible to see the silver lining in this case, but if you're willing to tune out the cacophony of voices defending a rapist, you will find it: Another voice has emerged to extend his support to this brave young woman, and one that knew Brock Turner personally.

In an exclusive interview with Revelist, AJ Burt, a swimmer and former acquaintance of Brock Turner, spoke candidly about the case, and his own experience with the man he now calls "the face of sexual assault in the United States of America."
