Ex-Stanford swimmer expected to leave jail 2 months early

A Santa Clara County Court spokesman has said Persky is prohibited from commenting on the case because Turner is appealing his conviction. But now that much of the attention has turned to his father – who wrote a letter in which he said his son shouldn’t spend time in jail for “20 minutes of action” – many are left wondering, who is Dan Turner and what does Brock Turner’s dad do?

“It must have been wrenching – to relive what he did to you all over again”, he wrote. “But you did it anyway, in the hope that your strength might prevent this crime from happening to someone else.

“Your bravery is breathtaking”, Biden continued.

Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky says he sentenced Brock Turner to just six months for the sexual assault at Stanford because of his age and lack of criminal record.

Pressure has been growing on the judge in the case to reconsider the sentence handed to Turner, which also included three years’ probation and a requirement for him to register as a convicted sex offender for the rest of his life.

Biden champions a White House campaign to spread awareness about campus sexual assault.

The move comes a week after the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office released the woman’s victim-impact statement, in which she described in excruciating detail what happened the night she was sexually assaulted and the aftermath she’s faced.

I wish I knew the name of the woman who testified against Brock Allen Turner so that I could thank her by name.

“I plead with you to consider the good things – the positive contributions – he can make to his community if given a chance to reclaim his life”, Owens wrote.

“We need judges who work to protect survivors, not their rapists”, Nita Chaudhary, co-founder of UltraViolet, said in a statement. Instead, Persky spared Turner any prison time, directing him instead to spend six months in county jail and three years on probation.

“The decision was far too lenient and well below the statutory minimum that was established for the offenses of which Brock Turner was convicted”, Dauber said. While it was live, it gave the 40 or so members who liked the page directions on how to donate to a Wright-Patt Credit Union account to “help ease the financial burden that this situation has caused”.

Public opinion is unanimously in favor of ousting the judge, especially since he had ignored the jury’s recommendations for a harsher sentence.

Jackie Speier the California Representative for Congress has announced that the body will read the victim’s letter.
