Surely this affluent white male athlete can't be held to the same standards as normal human beings?

Can he be re-sentenced? There was this similarly disgusting case in 2014 in which a grossly inadequate sentence of 31 days was changed to 10 years.

Of course, according to the judge, the 14-year old "victim looked older than her years and was "probably as much in control of the situation as was the defendant," so maybe the rapist was the real victim in that case, too.
