The California judge who sentenced a college athlete to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman was recalled yesterday, The Hill reports. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky is the first California judge to be recalled in more than 85 years. He sentenced Brock Turner, a Stanford University swimmer, to six months in jail out of a possible 14 years, because “a prison sentence would have a severe impact” on the young athlete.
