Richard Alexander Turner, 64, is facing more than 15 felony counts, including forcible rape, sexual penetration of an unconscious person and sexual penetration by use of force.
VAN NUYS — An athletic trainer who worked at two San Fernando Valley high schools will be charged with sex-related counts involving 10 teenage girls, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Tuesday.
“The unconsciousness in this particular case really refers to the fact that they may not have immediately been aware that they were being sexually molested,” Gascón told reporters. “There have been some cases where force was used as well.” The charges involve 10 alleged victims between the ages of 15 and 17 at the time, according to the district attorney, who said he was “grateful for the many young women that have come forward.”
Turner was initially arrested Sept. 20 by Los Angeles police after a Birmingham student reported to a school official that he had inappropriately touched her while she sought treatment for an injury, according to Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Jeff Bratcher, commanding officer of the Juvenile Division.
