Not fingers. It was the presence of foreign material from the ground in her vagina that triggered this charge, dirt and pine needles as I recall.
Your welcome.
You might recollect that they overcharged him.
They did not drop the two ‘rape’ charges until the last moment.
The other three charges are all from the same ‘assault’. So there should have only been one charge, not three.
On January 28, 2015, Turner was indicted on five charges
1.rape of an intoxicated person
2.rape of an unconscious person
3.sexual penetration (by a foreign object) of an unconscious woman
4.sexual penetration (by a foreign object) of an intoxicated woman
5.assault with intent to commit rape
From Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner#Indictment_and_charges
These were summarized as
“two counts of rape,
two counts of penetration
and one count of assault with intent to rape”.
The two formal charges of rape under California state law were dropped at a preliminary hearing on October 7, 2015,after DNA testing revealed no genetic evidence of genital-to-genital contact.
I do not believe that is correct.
I believe that claim (”the presence of foreign material from the ground in her vagina that triggered this charge, dirt and pine needles as I recall.” was widely made before trial.
However, I recollect that once the police reports were produced at trial, this claim was found to be false. I believe the report stated that there were these objects (dirt and pine needles) on her clothes.
