SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner has lost an appeal to overturn his 2016 conviction for sexual assault.
Turner was convicted for the January 2015 assault on victim "Emily Doe" after she left a fraternity party on the Stanford campus.
While sentenced to six months and three years of probation, Turner was released from county jail after three months and returned to his home in Ohio, where was required to register as a sex offender.
...
The sentence, criticized as lenient by some, led to protests and a recall election that succeeded in removing Superior Court Judge Aaron Perksy from the bench.

Ridiculous and insulting.
It was a ridiculous request, but so was his original sentence.

has been removed from the bench. Some justice is better than no justice.
I hope Emily Doe is living a happy, fulfilling life. So, too, for her rescuers.
