    Aaron Persky, Judge in Brock Turner Stanford Rape Case, Removed From New Sex Assault Case

    The DA's office was "disappointed and puzzled" over a recent decision in one of Persky's cases

    Aaron Persky, the judge facing intense backlash over his sentencing in the sexual assault trial of a former Stanford swimmer, has been removed from another sex assault case at the request of the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office.

    The office said Tuesday it filed a motion to disqualify Persky from an upcoming trial in which a male nurse allegedly sexually assaulted an anesthetized female patient. Persky was disqualified by the administrative judge of the court following the DA's request.

    "We lack confidence that Judge Persky can fairly participate in this upcoming hearing," the DA's office said in a statement.

    Persky's June 2 sentencing of former Stanford University star athlete Brock Turner to six months in county jail and three years' probation, sparked outrage in the Bay Area and worldwide. He sexually assaulting an intoxicated, unconscious woman after a fraternity party in January 2015. He had faced many more years in prison, and many felt a six-month sentence was too lenient...

    Persky was removed from the new sexual assault case the day after he tossed out a misdemeanor mail theft case before it reached the jury. Persky ruled on Monday that prosecutors had not proven their theft case during the two-day trial and dismissed the case and the jury before deliberations started.

    According to county prosecutor James Leonard, it was Persky's first case since the Brock Turner case.

    ...A statement from the Santa Clara DA's office, released Tuesday, says:

    We are disappointed and puzzled at Judge Persky's unusual decision to unilaterally dismiss a case before the jury could deliberate. After this and the recent turn of events, we lack confidence that Judge Persky can fairly participate in this upcoming hearing in which a male nurse sexually assaulted an anesthetized female patient. This is a rare and carefully considered step for our Office. In the future, we will evaluate each case on its own merits and decide if we should use our legal right to ask for another judge in order to protect public safety and pursue justice.
