        @USATODAYcollege 20 mins for your son but a lifetime for his victim. HE had the choice, HE assaulted her - he is NOT the victim

        By all means. He created a rapist. Might as well defend him.

        @USATODAYcollege The father is the reason the son turned out to be a criminal.

        This is why this kid did what he did......if his Father thinks that that crime was so light, he is a TERRIBLE role model.

        .@punchthecore @AntarianRani @USATODAY Parents will always defend their children, even when it's not easy. Part of our responsibility.

        Being there is one thing.....you can't defend this..... child or not. Have to pay the price.

        With dad's logic, any crime taking less than 20 minutes should be punished lightly even murder. We're doomed!

        @USATODAYcollege 'Dad of convicted rapist' is more accurate and important. He is a rapist who happens to be a swimmer.

        @USATODAYcollege The father is as sick as the son. I bet he's committed raped before but never been caught!

        @USATODAYcollege this is sickening! And to think, the dad wants him to educate other college kids about not drinking? Laughable!
