Public outrage is growing over a former Stanford University swimmer's sentence for rape.

The judge who sentenced 20-year-old Brock Turner of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman is facing a recall petition. While prosecutors sought a six-year prison sentence, Judge Aaron Persky issued a sentence of six months in county jail and probation.

A letter written by Turner's father to Persky said the conviction was a "steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action," prompting critics to accuse the father of perpetuating rape culture.

Sarah Lemanczyk, a St. Paul mom and writer, says there's a real challenge in raising sons to think beyond a "boys will be boys" mentality.
