Ok I can understand if he was caught with pot, drug paraphernalia, or drunk driving (without injuring someone).

But raping someone? Idc if you’re talented or have a bright future you should have it on your record or face a punishment like probation

@chrischryse @dwazou there are certainly better ways of getting more doctors than giving medical students a pass on rape.

But as we all know, this is just Brock Turner all over again. At best this is a judge who saw something in a kid because of how he looked, something he wouldn't see in this kid if he looked different. Whether that's because they look the same or because the kid looks like his mental image of what a doctor should be.
