Stephen Dalton Baril was a student at the University of Virginia when he raped a fellow student. He entered an Alford Plea, admitting there was enough evidence to convict him but still claiming innocence. He faced jail time but got a suspended sentence. While he did not have institutional power at the time, his grandfather was a former Virginia governor and his father was a former candidate for Attorney General.
