Fmr. Stanford Swimmer Convicted Of Sex Assault To Undergo Random Drug Tests
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) -- The former Stanford University swimmer convicted of sexual assault will be required to attend drug and alcohol counseling in addition to being randomly tested after he was caught lying about his high school habits.
Internal probation department communications obtained Tuesday through a public records request show that Brock Turner will have the counseling requirements added to his probation before his Sept. 2 release from jail.
Turner denied in May using illegal drugs and said he began drinking only after arriving at Stanford in September 2014. Text messages investigators retrieved from his phone and made public after his June 2 sentencing showed otherwise.
Probation officials say in internal emails that Turner again denied using illegal drugs during a June 14 jailhouse interview. He later conceded he was lying.
