That's the thing, though. He is the father of the rapist. Of course he is biased and of course he would feel completely differently had that happened to his daughter. That goes without saying.

Bias isn't an excuse for daft statements, the are numerous ways for him to highlight that he supports his son with out making the crime look any less, Chris Brown's dad for example highlighted that the altercation between his son and Rihanna was a regrettable one and that his son was remorseful.

Not comparable, I'm afraid.

Brock Turner pleaded not guilty, i.e. claimed that he never raped her. The father couldn't call it as something regrettable as that would destroy his son's chance at winning the case. He referred to it with the vaguest words he thought he could use, i.e. 20 minutes of action. For all we know, he believed his son's words, that she gave concent several times and thus was not a rape. Being so biased, he probably saw his son as incapable of doing of what he was being accused, hence his choice of words. At least that's my interpretation of what he said. For all I know he could be the devil. Since I don't know, I'm not going to jump to conclusions.
