news and politics electionsWhat happened to the judge in the Brock Turner case?
Subsequently, one may also ask, was Brock Turner's judge recalled?
Despite allegations that race, gender, and class bias influenced his lenient sentencing of Turner (prosecutors had asked for six years), the California Commission on Judicial Performance found no wrongdoing. Nonetheless, Persky was recalled by voters on June 5, 2018, during the 2018 California primary elections.
Regarding this, what happened to Judge Aaron Persky?
A California judge who lost his job after giving a lenient sentence to a college sex attacker has now been fired from coaching tennis to schoolgirls. Aaron Persky was ousted as a judge by voters over his sentencing of Brock Turner, who assaulted an unconscious woman at Stanford University in 2015.
Turner was arrested and indicted on five sexual assault charges, to which he pleaded not guilty. In 2016, he was convicted of three of these charges and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment—a sentence which sparked public outrage due to its leniency.
