Brock Turner sought 'outercourse' with victim, says lawyer for ex-Stanford student

Brock Turner appears in court in Palo Alto, California, in 2015.

The attorney’s appeal of the high-profile case, which led to international outrage after Turner received a lenient sentence in 2016, advanced in a California court this week, with an unusual legal claim that experts said was shocking and hurtful to survivors of sexual violence.
