Turner, a 20-yeaA meme featuring a picture of Stanford rapist Brock Turner with the caption, "MY NAME IS BROCK / IM A RAPIST," was erroneously removed from several users' Facebook accounts earlier today, Gizmodo reports.
Turner, a 20-year-old former Stanford student, has been an object of public scorn since he received a lenient six-month sentence after he sexually assaulted an unconscious woman behind a frat house dumpster in 2015. He was caught in the act by two men and attempted to flee the scene of the crime.
