UPDATE 06/06/2016 5:53 p.m.: Stanford has released an updated statement in reference to the Turner case, saying that there "has been a significant amount of misinformation circulating" about the university's "role" in the sexual assault. The university says it's proud of its students for stopping the incident, referring to the graduate students who spotted Turner assaulting the woman and intervened. The school also says that after a quick investigation, it banned Turner from the campus within two weeks, which is the "harshest sanction that a university can impose on a student."
In this case, Stanford University, its students, its police and its staff members did everything they could. Stanford University takes the issue of sexual assault extremely seriously and has been a national leader in taking concrete steps to implement prevention programs, to train students on the importance of bystander intervention, to provide support to students who may experience sexual assault and to assure that cases are handled fairly and justly.
UPDATE 06/06/2016 5:06 p.m.: Following controversy surrounding the noticeable absence of Turner's mugshot, Santa Clara County officials have released the image.
