Sacramento, June 14 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of California, Judge Aaron Persky was recalled from office, two years after he sparked a national outrage for sentencing Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner to a 6-month prison term for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster.

Turner was caught by two witnesses thrusting on top of the victim as she lay unconscious behind a dumpster.  But Judge Persky said he was concerned a longer term would have a serious impact on Turner, who is a white Stanford student.

Judge Persky later gave a harsher sentence to a Latino man who committed a similar crime.  It is the first time since 1932 that California voters have chosen to recall a sitting justice.
