Stanford rapist Brock Turner is now trying to appeal his conviction.

Brock Turner is appealing his sexual assault conviction and hoping to remove his name from the registered sex offenders list, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Turner, 21, was convicted on three counts of sexual assault in March last year, after the court heard how he used his fingers and ‘foreign objects’ to penetrate an unnamed victim as she lay unconscious next to a dumpster.

He served only three months behind bars and the leniency of his punishment attracted worldwide attention. Now, he’s appealing his conviction.

It was Brock Turner’s victim, who made his crime infamous.

Her anonymous victim statement, made public by Buzzfeed after Turner’s sentencing, recounted how she awoke on January 18, 2015 on a stretcher in a hospital corridor. “You’ve been assaulted,” the nurses told her. Her underwear was gone and she was bleeding.

She had no recollection of Turner – then a 19-year-old swimming champion with a scholarship to Stanford University in California – sexually assaulting her as she lay unconscious next to a dumpster after a party the night before.

“I learned for the first time about how I was found unconscious, with my hair disheveled, long necklace wrapped around my neck, bra pulled out of my dress, dress pulled off over my shoulders and pulled up above my waist,” her victim statement reads. “That I was butt naked all the way down to my boots, legs spread apart, and had been penetrated by a foreign object by someone I did not recognise.”

The ‘foreign objects’ were the pine needles she found in her hair and her clothes.

She couldn’t reconcile that Turner’s swimming times were published alongside news stories about the trial.

Turner’s sentence, handed down on June 2, 2016, mandated six months imprisonment, however this was shortened and Turner was released in September the same year.

It also included a mandatory lifetime requirement for Turner to register as a sex offender.

In a bid to undo this conviction, and remove Turner’s name from the sex offender’s list, his lawyers filed an appeal yesterday, the Los Angeles Times reports.

In the appeal, Turner’s lawyers call the initial trial a “detailed and lengthy set of lies” and maintain what happened was not a crime.

The rest of us are left wondering: Will the suffering for Turner’s victim ever end?
