Forcefully enter a woman...maybe a year in jail if you have rich parents?
Forcefully enter a computer to expose a rape...up to 16 years in prison - five years for three hacking counts, and another year for lying to the FBI — if convicted.

Not sure if anyone actively remembers this case from a few years ago or seen the recent news coverage.

Girl was raped at an Ohio school, peed on, essentially treated inhumanely at a disturbing level, and this was done by several players on the local football team.
The players posted about it to social media (videos images, messages) the day after the assault. They tried to cover it up, and a hacktivist exposed the whole thing at a later time. (there's a ton of details of course, but that's just a general overview)

Now the hacker/hacktivist that exposed the rape will have a longer jail sentence than the rapists. The players were already sentenced, served their time, and are now out of jail and back in the world.

The hacker/hacktivist however, hasn't even been sentenced yet.
  
His trial is scheduled to begin November 8, 2016.

Original video featuring "Anonymous" masked student with article with a warning to parents, faculty, and football players to confess or be exposed:

 WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.

"On the night of August 11, 2012 a heavily drunk high-school girl was raped at a party by several members of a local football team. The victim didn’t even know the full extent of the assault, until she saw videos and photos of the cruel act all over social media the next day. On August 22, only two players — Trent Mays and Ma’Lik Richmond — were arrested on charges of rape and kidnapping, though the kidnapping charges were later dropped.

From a local controversy, the gang rape turned into an all-out Internet crusade and made national headlines with high-level cover-ups, prosecutors colluding with coaches, and hackers leaking the evidence that led to the conviction of the two football players.

As a leading member of hacking group KnightSec, KYAnonymous (Lostutter’s alter ego) approached fellow hacker Noah McHugh (who went by the username JustBatCat on Twitter) to hack into RollRedRoll.com (the Steubenville High School sports fan website) to expose the cover-up by school administrators, as well as reveal the identities of other high-schoolers, as seen in the videos circulated on social media."

The other day while at a coffee shop, I overheard a group of high school girls talking about where they wanted to go to college, and one of the factors they discussed was the school's rape and assault statistics, rumors surrounding schools, etc.

I don't know if I'm more angry or sad that girls are actually reconsidering going to college out of fear of getting raped or assaulted, but something has to be done now.

Here's 3 of the guys dragging her unconscious body...

One of the asshats making a fun video while the girl is nearby being assaulted by his friends. (she might be in the same room or possibly in the next room, the details shift a little depending on what article you read). EITHER WAY IT'S F**KED UP.

I haven't noticed this case on Imgur yet, so I apologize if this is reposted information.

I see a lot of Brock Turner posts, but to me, this case is just as messed up in how the events played out; it's absurd and infuriating on any level, seems like it deserves some memes too.

(Did I use the semicolon correctly in that sentence...? Many apologies if I didn't.)

TL;DR

Forcefully enter a woman in the USA...maybe a year in jail.
Forcefully enter a computer to expose a rape in the USA...up to 16 years in prison.

@op looks like you used the semicolon right. Use it when it can be a new sentence but also can be one sentence at the same time.
