| Harriet –
In June 2016, Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Stanford swimmer Brock Turner to six months in county jail despite being found guilty of three counts of sexual assault. On September 2nd, Brock Turner will be released from county jail after serving just three months of his sentence. This is unacceptable.
