It may also be worthy to assess the loss of a somewhat promising swimming career due to a case of sexual assault where the judge saw fit to mete out a light sentence. There are other considerations, such as the prospect of Turner being able to continue his education and ever finding gain employment at his level of demonstrated talent and becoming a productive citizen..

'''Brock Allen Turner''' (born August 1, 1995, in Dayton, Ohio) is an American male citizen who was convicted in a 2016 jury trial of three counts of sexual assault. The crime occurred on January 18, 2015. The trial is known as ''People of the State of California v. Brock Allen Turner''. Turner, a student athlete (swimming) of Stanford was found outdoors by passersby with an unconscious 22-year old female non-student who was partially unclothed on top of her and performing pelvic thrusts. He admitted that he had "fingered" her. The law in On September 30, 2016, California amended the law to include digital rape within the definition of the word "rape", but such a change cannot be applied retroactively to this case. The change also required time in state prison for the crime.<ref>http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-sac-california-sex-crimes-stanford-cosby-bills-20160930-snap-htmlstory.html</ref>

The premature charges of "rape" filed by the prosecutor, which were the "verifiable truth" of a sort for many months, closely associated Turner's name with the word. The case became widely (but improperly) known as the '''Stanford rape case'''. There is a great deal of amateur coverage of the case that simply uses the word "rape" to describe what happened. Although sexual assault and rape are often conflated, even by FBI measurements, Turner committed sexual assault, not rape.<ref>http://www.dailywire.com/news/6683/was-stanford-rapist-actually-rapist-amanda-prestigiacomo</ref><ref>http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/stanford-rape-case-brock-turner-victims-statement-a7074246.html</ref><ref>http://time.com/4362949/stanford-sexual-assault-not-rape/</ref><ref>http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/06/brock-turner-sexual-assault-felony.html</ref> The case, and in particular the lengthy victim fimpact statement presented by the unnamed victim after the verdict, received a great deal of publicity.

The victim was so intoxicated with alcohol that she recalled nothing of the entire evening. The judge in the case, judge Aaron Persky, commented afterward to a [[journalist]] that he believed Turner's version of the events, in particular that the victim explicitly granted him consent for sexual activity.<ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/news/brock-turner-ex-swimmer-judge-in-stanford-sex-assault-case-i-take-him-at-his-word/</ref> Persky received a great deal of negative publicity for the 6-month county jail sentence he meted out. He later switched to handling civil cases for at least the rest of the year. Stanford Law Professor and sociologist Michele Landis Dauber launched a recall effort on Persky. When the California Commission on Judicial Performance closed its investigation into Persky on December 17, 2016, the recall effort seemed likely to be a failure.<ref>https://cjp.ca.gov/files/2016/08/Persky_Explanatory_Statement_12-19-16.pdf<ref>
