Prosecutor: Rape sentence lenient, compares to Brock Turner

(AP) — A California prosecutor says a man convicted of raping a relative received a sentence that is too lenient, comparing the monthslong jail term to the case of former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner.

Judge William Follet said the "stigma" of the crime and having to register for life as a sex offender persuaded him to sentence Bruder to jail time instead of a lengthy prison sentence.

Bruder appears to have benefited from committing his crime before a new law took effect that mandates prison for sexual assault convictions, Trigg said.
