Shortly after Stanford student Brock Turner was arrested for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, a strange message popped up on his phone. It read “WHOS TIT IS THAT [sic]” and arrived through an app called GroupMe.

Detectives combed through Turner’s phone, but could no longer see the text or any photo it might have been referring to. However, Blake Bolton, a passerby who witnessed the attack, later told investigators that he had seen a man standing over the victim holding a phone, which had “a bright light pointed in the direction of the female”.
