8:57Now PlayingAfter sentencing convicted rapist, Brock Turner, to only 6 months in jail, Judge Persky’s decisions are being heavily questioned. Now there is a movement to have him removed from cases involving sexual assault. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola, and Ben Mankiewicz, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

In the new case, a male nurse is facing allegations for sexually assaulting an anesthetized woman, according to KNTV.
