Ex-Frat President Accused of Violent Rapes Avoids Prison, Fined $400

HeadlineDec 12, 2018

In Texas, a judge accepted a plea deal from a former Baylor University fraternity president who was indicted on four counts of sexual assault, allowing him to avoid prison time. Under the deal, 24-year-old Jacob Walter Anderson will receive probation and counseling, and has to pay a $400 fine. He will not have to register as a sex offender. After news of the plea deal broke, the survivor of Anderson’s attack wrote, “This guy violently raped me multiple times, choked me, and when I blacked out, he dumped me face down on the ground and left me to die. When I woke up aspirating up my own vomit, my friends immediately took me to the hospital.”
