Sexual Assault Incident
Two Swedish graduate students, Peter Lars Jonsson, and Carl-Fredrik Arndt were cycling by the Kappa Alpha fraternity on the Stanford campus about 1:00 am on 18 January 2015. They spotted Turner on top of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. Jonsson confronted Turner, “What the f**k are you doing? She’s unconscious woman”. Turner then fled away. Arndt went to determine whether the woman was breathing. Jonsson chased Turner at the same time. Jonsson tripped Turner and held him down around 75 feet away from the dumpster. Arndt also chased Turner and helped Jonsson to pin Turner down. A bystander at the dumpster called emergency services and campus police arrived and arrested Turner.
The victim woman was taken to the hospital, where she regained her consciousness at 4:15 am. The Sexual Assault Response Team examination at the hospital determined that she had experienced significant trauma (physical injury, bruising, etc), and penetrating trauma (piercing and cutting injuries). She was found to have abrasions and erythema on her skin.
Turner and the victim had attended a party at Kappa Alpha fraternity earlier in the night of 17 January 2015.
Turner withdrew from Stanford shortly after the incident. Stanford announced on 20 January that Turner had been banned from campus. He was also banned from ever participating in a competitive swimming event for the United States.

Trial, Sentence
The Trial began on 14 March 2016. Turner testified that he met the victim, (initially referred to as Emily Doe) at the Kappa Alpha house and they drank beer together. They danced and kissed at the party and agreed to go back to his room. They walked away from the house holding hands. The victim slipped on a slope behind a wooden shed and then Turner got down to the ground and started kissing the victim. Turner then asked if she wanted him to “finger” her, and she said yes. He stated that he then “fingered” her for a minute.
The Swedish students then saw Turner and confronted him. Turner denied running from graduate students. He also stated that he didn’t know what they were talking about.
Turner was found guilty of three felonies on 30 March 2016. He was found guilty of assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman, sexually penetrating an intoxicating person with a foreign object, and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object. Prosecutors recommended that Turner be given a six-year prison sentence. However, Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months in the Santa Clara County jail on 2 June 2016, followed by three years of probation. He was released on 2 September 2016 after serving three months in jail. He was obligated to participate in a sex offender rehabilitation program.

Controversy
The judge Persky faced widespread public criticism for his sentencing to Turner. Prosecutors and victims’ rights advocates criticized Judge Persky’s sentencing as lenient and biased. Turner’s prior clean record made him a candidate for minimum sentencing.
The Committee to Recall Judge Persky was led by Michele Dauber, professor of the Stanford Law School and longtime advocate on campus sexual assault. Online petitions to remove Persky as the Judge attracted over a million signatures by 10 June 2016. They demanded Judge Persky’s recall or resignation.
Persky was recalled by county voters on 5 June 2018. He lost the recall vote by over 23% margin with his 38.49% to 61.51% vote. He was the first judge to be recalled by voters in California in 86 years and the first in the United States since 1977.
Aftermath
Turner appealed to overturn his conviction in December 2017 that his lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender should be canceled. He lost his appeal on 8 August 2018.
