The athlete is required to complete three years of probation which include a sex offender management program for at least a year or up to three.
Turner’s sentence sparked outrage among many, and Friday night protesters were at his home, voicing some strong opinions.
Turner, whose family lives in Sugarcreek Twp., has five days to report to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office to register as a Tier III Sex offender. The case reflected growing concern over sexual assaults on USA college campuses. Turner, then 19, fled the scene but the witnesses tackled him and held him until police arrived, according to the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office.
Turner was convicted in March of three felony counts: assault with the intent to commit rape of an unconscious person, sexual penetration of an unconscious person and sexual penetration of an intoxicated person.

They and others attending a demonstration outside the jail called for him to resign Friday. The site has an “About Judge Aaron Persky” page, which includes a statement purportedly from the judge, as well as a section for contributions.

Campos also said, “We are here to stand with ‘Emily Doe.'” The victim’s identity has not been released. The bill is now heading to California Gov. Nothing indicates it’s anything more or less than that.
The Recall Persky Campaign says it since has found a pattern of bias in the punishment the judge has doled out in sex crimes against women.

“I support him because he has high integrity”, Goodman said. But Dan Newman, a spokesman for the campaign in favor of the ballot measure, called the list “merely a starting point”. Wollack said the appeals court has not yet received the trial record, “so we are still very early in the process at this time”.
