New reports are emerging that former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner or his friends may have passed around pictures of breasts the night he assaulted a young woman behind a dumpster. Some media reports indicate that it was Turner who sent the picture, but nothing has been confirmed by investigators.
The Daily Mail obtained a copy of the people’s sentencing memo which references how detectives noticed a text message in Turner’s “Group Me” application that stated, “Who’s tits are those?” The app also showed that a picture had been sent. Detectives said that a search warrant was obtained for Turner’s phone. However, detectives were not able to find any pictures attached to the application. It is possible that a friend erased the photo upon learning of Turner’s arrest.
“[T]hey (investigators) learned that when there is a third party application, the images are not stored in the phone and can be deleted by a third party member in the group,” the memo says.
