In Their Words: The Swedish "Heroes" Who Caught The Stanford Attacker

The two men tackled Brock Turner and held him down until the police came. Turner's victim called them heroes.

Carl-Fredrik Arndt and Peter Jonsson, the two Swedish Ph.D. students who found Brock Turner sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster at Stanford, said they immediately knew something was wrong.

Nearly a year and a half ago Arndt and Jonsson were biking to a party on Stanford’s campus when they saw Turner, 20, on top of his victim behind a dumpster. They managed to tackle Turner as he ran away and they called the police.

The two men were key witnesses in the case against Turner. The woman was taken to police to be cared for, bandaged, and given a rape kit. Turner was eventually found guilty of three counts of sexual assault and was sentenced by Judge Aaron Persky to three months of a six month sentence in county jail with probation. He said a longer sentence in prison would have a “severe impact” on the Stanford athlete.

Since the victim’s letter was published – followed by other letters from Turner’s father and friend defending him – people all over the world, including public figures and celebrities, have come out in support of the victim and in outrage over Turner’s short sentence.

In a letter written by the victim to her assailant published by BuzzFeed News Friday, she described the two students – who she has still never met – as “heroes.”

Arndt described the night of the assault to the Swedish news outlet Expressen on Tuesday, saying that they read the letter and were very moved. (Arndt and Jonsson did not immediately return BuzzFeed News’ request for additional comment.)

As Arndt and Jonsson approached the dumpsters where Turner was attacking his victim, they said they immediately knew something was wrong.

“We saw that she was not moving, while he was moving a lot,” Arndt said in Swedish.“So we stopped and thought, ‘This is very strange.”

The two graduate students quickly decided to approach Turner to see what was going on. Jonsson approached him first, Arndt said, while he followed.

“When he got up we saw that she still wasn’t moving at all, so we walked up and asked something like, ‘What are you doing?’”

In the victim’s letter, she describes pictures she saw of herself behind that dumpster:

“Unconscious, with my hair disheveled, long necklace wrapped around my neck, bra pulled out of my dress, dress pulled off over my shoulders and pulled up above my waist, … butt naked all the way down to my boots, legs spread apart,” she wrote. She had dirt pine needles in her hair and inside her vagina.

The friends exchanged a few short words with Turner before he suddenly turned to run away from them. Jonsson chased after Turner and managed to catch up with him and tackle him a few feet away.

Arndt leaned over to make sure the unconscious victim was still alive, “She lay perfectly still,” he said.

The two men then restrained Turner and called the police. They held down the then-19-year-old swimmer until the police arrived.

In her letter, the victim said she was told one of the two men was crying, he was so upset by the state she was in. She also said she was forever grateful to Arndt and Jonsson for what they did.

“Thank you to the two men who saved me, who I have yet to meet,” the victim wrote. “I sleep with two bicycles that I drew taped above my bed to remind myself there are heroes in this story. That we are looking out for one another. To have known all of these people, to have felt their protection and love, is something I will never forget.”

Arndt was a teaching assistant at Stanford in math and engineering while getting his degree. He spent time at J.P. Morgan as research associate. Jonsson received his Master of Science degree in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford in May. Previously he attended Uppsala University in Sweden for economics.

Jonsson posted the victim’s letter on his Facebook page Tuesday, thanking friends and strangers for all the “encouragement and support” over the past few months. He said he would not publicly comment on the process or outcome of the trial, but asked everyone to read her letter.

“To me it is unique in its form” he wrote, “and comes as close as you can possibly get to putting words on an experience that words cannot describe.”

Hey, I’m feeling fucked up because of the Orlando shooting and making posts that Might Be Helpful to others makes me feel better. So here’s some positive stuff. I’m mostly linking to masterposts. If you have any suggestions for additions, please message me and I’ll add things. This is a hard time for LGBT people and I hope everyone can feel well soon.
