 Well-Connected Alleged Serial Rapist Goes Free After Cushy Plea Deal
Story by Allison Quinn  •
43m


A South Carolina man accused of raping two teenage girls and then a third while out on bond has been released after serving less than a year and a half behind bars.

Bowen Turner, now 21, got a sweetheart plea deal in early 2022 that sparked outrage for its leniency—the well-connected Turner got five years probation and pleaded guilty to a single charge of first-degree assault and battery.
 
That came after he violated the terms of his house arrest agreement dozens of times to visit friends, go golfing, and eat at a restaurant, among other things, according to court documents. The son of an investigator for a local prosecutor, he wasn’t locked up until July 2022, after an arrest for disorderly conduct saw his probation finally revoked.

The headline alone made me think this might be about Bill Clinton. Imagine my disappointment.

Must be a South Carolina version of a Kennedy.

He's the son of the prosecuting attorney's investigator, the story said. I guess that qualifies as well-connected.  :shrug:
