As has often happened lately, it takes Fits News to bring these things to our attention.

Excerpt from the article:
"...Accused of raping three women in three different counties in a span of a little over a year in 2018-2019, this 19-year-old “fortunate son” is about to receive one of those sweetheart plea deals you read about so often on our pages – the sort of deal that turns violent and dangerous people loose on our streets with absolutely no consequences for their actions.
During a court hearing in Orangeburg County, S.C. this morning (April 8, 2022), Turner is expected to plead guilty before S.C. circuit court judge Markley Dennis to one count of assault in connection with his June 2019 arrest on the charge of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree.
Set to appear alongside him? Powerful state senator Brad Hutto, who gained infamy in this case a few years back when he
-shamed one of the alleged victims.
Turner was arrested on his third criminal sexual conduct charge just forty-one days after S.C. circuit court judge Thomas Hughston revoked his GPS monitoring in connection with another charge of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree – this one involving a case in Bamberg County, S.C.
A third case involving Turner from April 2018 – an alleged sexual assault in Calhoun County – is no longer pending.
Turner is expected to receive probation on the Orangeburg County charge – and may not even be required to register as a sex offender. Meanwhile, the Bamberg County charge is expected to be dismissed because the alleged victim – 18-year-old Dallas Stoller – died last November...."
Edited to add: Warning, the podcast linked above will make you angry. I found it difficult to listen to.
