Ten years ago, Brock Turner became a national symbol of outrage after he was released from jail after serving only three months for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster following a fraternity party.

The 31-year-old registered sex offender has since advanced quietly at the Ohio manufacturing company that hired him after his conviction. He has also bought a home in the leafy Dayton suburb where he was raised, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The former Stanford swimmer has returned to public attention as a lawsuit involving the so-called “Cornell 7” renews debate over the way colleges and universities respond to allegations of sexual assault.

The seven men, all former members of Cornell University’s now-banned Chi Phi fraternity chapter, deny the allegations, and no criminal charges have been filed. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed state Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor.

Turner was competing for Stanford’s swim team when the widely publicized 2015 assault occurred. When he was last photographed in 2019, he was living with his parents and earning about $12 an hour on the factory floor.

Today, the clean-cut former inmate, who now uses a different name, is listed as a supplier quality specialist at the same company: Tark, a Dayton-area manufacturer of pumps and cooling systems for medical equipment. Public records show he paid $162,500 for a house in Oakwood, Ohio.

As Turner has rebuilt his life, however, the seemingly close-knit family that rallied around him during his arrest and highly publicized court case has fractured.

His parents, who urged the judge to show leniency and pleaded for their son’s release, divorced in April after almost 38 years of marriage. Turner’s mother says none of her children now speaks to her.

When the Daily Mail recently saw Turner going about his daily routine, he appeared far removed from the period when his image dominated news coverage around the world.

“I have no interest in speaking,” Turner told the Daily Mail shortly after stepping out of a 2015 Toyota parked outside his home.

In 2016, he received a six-month county jail sentence, despite prosecutors seeking six years. He served only half of that term, prompting international condemnation and eventually contributing to the recall of Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky.

Turner’s victim, Chanel Miller, became widely known after millions read her courtroom statement. She revealed her identity in 2019 through her bestselling memoir, Know My Name, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In January, she published The Moon Without Stars, a middle-grade novel, and appeared at this year’s Library of Congress National Book Festival.

Turner remains a lifetime registered sex offender in Ohio and is required to report in person to the Greene County Sheriff every 90 days. His employer is listed as Tark.

The Daily Mail photographed Turner leaving the factory in June 2019, when he held an entry-level quality-control position paying approximately $12 an hour. A colleague said he had initially joined the company in shipping and receiving.

At 23, Turner was living with his parents and driving a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica.

Property records now show that he purchased his Oakwood home for $162,500 in December 2021. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom property is in the same Dayton suburb where he grew up and attended high school.

An online professional listing now gives his title as Strategic Sourcing Supplier Quality Specialist, a role that typically pays between $55,000 and $70,000 a year in the Dayton area.

Turner has an office-based position overseeing the quality of parts bought in from outside suppliers.

Tark was bought in 2024 by Laird Thermal Systems, a thermal management group majority-owned by German private equity firm Bregal Unternehmerkapital, which then renamed itself Tark Thermal Solutions in 2025.

Despite appearing to thrive in his career, Turner’s family life has taken a sad turn.

Court records obtained by the Daily Mail show that Dan Turner filed for divorce from Carleen in Greene County Common Pleas Court on August 4, 2025, after more than 37 years of marriage.

The couple, who married in Dayton on June 11, 1988, both cited incompatibility, and Carleen filed a counterclaim seeking spousal support and asking for her legal fees to be paid.

After a pretrial hearing and a settlement conference, the case was resolved at a final hearing before Magistrate Amanda Holmes, with a divorce decree and separation agreement filed on April 13.

Under the agreement, neither had to pay each other spousal support and each coughed up their own legal bills.

Dan, 64, who wrote a notorious letter telling Judge Persky that his son had paid ‘a steep price’ for ’20 minutes of action,’ kept the family home in Bellbrook, Ohio, where Brock was living with his parents in 2019.

Property records show Carleen signed her share of the house over to Dan in April and that he paid her a lump sum for half of the equity.

Carleen, 64, a former surgical nurse, was entitled to half of the monthly federal pension Dan earned in his career as an engineer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and half of the payments from an annuity in his name, court records show. 

Dan also agreed to pay her $10,000 to even out the division of their belongings. His list of possessions to keep ran to a full page – including the televisions, kitchen appliances, a 16ft boat, a kayak, dog kennels and gym equipment.

Hers ran to four lines: a sewing machine, her remaining clothes and family photographs, a silver-framed mirror and an antique dry sink.

Court papers show she has since moved out of the family home, with the court filings making zero mention of Brock or their other adult children.

Approached by the Daily Mail at her new apartment just two miles from Brock’s new home, Carleen said: ‘I absolutely do not want to talk, sorry you came all this way.’

But in posts on her public Facebook page, Carleen has given her own account of the split, simply saying: ‘Divorce sucks.’

‘I will never recover. We were together for over 40 years,’ she wrote in August. 

Carleen has also claimed that none of her children speak to her, which she put down to her drinking and to what she described as her husband’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.

‘Dan and I stopped having fun when his OCD routines took over and I started drinking to escape his OCD and he divorced me,’ she added in the same post.

In another she wrote: ‘I am so sad my kids ignore me the man I spent 40 years with divorced me.

‘My sister gave up on me when my family did not want to go during covid and I clearly should not have listened to them because it destroyed my time with my only support my sister yet. Here I am. Alone.’

In 2019, Carleen told the Daily Mail outside the family home that her son was ‘just trying to get on with his life.’

As a 19-year-old freshman on a swimming scholarship, Turner was caught assaulting Miller, then 22, behind a dumpster near the Kappa Alpha fraternity house in the early hours of January 18, 2015.

Two Swedish graduate students, Peter Jonsson and Carl-Fredrik Arndt, were cycling past when they saw what was happening. They chased Turner and pinned him down until sheriff’s deputies arrived.

He was initially charged with five offenses, but two rape charges were withdrawn before trial.

In March 2016, a jury convicted him of three felony counts of sexual assault: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person and sexual penetration of an unconscious person.

He faced up to 14 years in state prison, and prosecutors asked for six.

But in June 2016, Judge Persky sentenced him to six months in county jail and three years’ probation, citing the ‘severe impact’ that prison would have on him.

He was released after three months, on September 2, 2016.

The sentence caused international outrage, fueled by Miller’s victim impact statement – published online under the pseudonym Emily Doe and read millions of times – and by a letter from Dan Turner to the judge.

In it, Dan wrote that his son’s life had been ‘deeply altered forever’ and that jail would be ‘a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.’

Miller told the court: ‘The fact that Brock was a star athlete at a prestigious university should not be seen as an entitlement to leniency.’

Persky was recalled by Santa Clara County voters in June 2018, the first California judge removed by voters in 86 years, and California tightened its laws – introducing mandatory prison for sexually assaulting an unconscious or intoxicated person and broadening the legal definition of rape.

Turner’s appeal was rejected in August 2018, and his Ohio probation ended in September 2019. He was banned for life by USA Swimming and from Stanford’s campus.

He moved back to his parents’ home after his release and registered as a sex offender in Greene County, Ohio, in September 2016. The terms of his probation, which ended in September 2019, banned him from drinking alcohol or going into bars.

Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer told the Daily Mail in 2019 that Turner had complied with his registration requirements: ‘He’s come in, does what he’s supposed to do and moves on.’

Azra Alagic had recently turned 50 and married for the second time when an unsettling thought surfaced: “My mortality is just around the corner.”

The realisation came at an awkward time — during her honeymoon in Italy. “My husband and I were exploring these beautiful ancient villages, where there are stairs everywhere, and I started feeling a niggle in my knee,” Azra, now 57, tells the Daily Mail. “Then it began collapsing underneath me.”

At first, she dismissed it. “I thought, ‘This is ridiculous. I’m a fit woman.’” But the problem steadily worsened throughout the trip. “I realised my body was beginning to stop responding the way it once had.”

Returning home to Australia brought another deeply unsettling surprise.

“When we got home and I looked at the wedding photographs, they weren’t what I had expected,” Azra says. “I burst into tears because I looked so much older than I thought I did.”

A few days later, a friend made the moment even more uncomfortable over coffee. Reaching across the table to touch the lines on Azra’s forehead, she suggested: “Az, just get a little Botox here. It will make such a difference.”

The Gold Coast mother of three had also been putting off a number of persistent health concerns.

“I’d experienced migraines since my twenties, and they would leave me bedridden for at least three days,” she says. Initially, the attacks came before each menstrual cycle, but they became more frequent as she grew older. “I was bloated and looked six months pregnant. I had gas and reflux. My body was clearly unhappy, and it was time to start listening to it.”

A former journalist then working in the corporate sector, Azra began investigating ways to slow the ageing process. Her research introduced her to biohacking — and she embraced the movement wholeheartedly.

Azra is now recognised as one of Australia’s leading female biohackers. She is also the founder of Biohackher, a longevity brand focused on helping women extend their “healthspan” through smart technology and science-backed strategies.

Azra describes biohacking as “taking control of your biology”. That can involve changes to diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits designed to support a healthier, more youthful life for longer.

The concept is often linked to the so-called “biohacking bros” — men on social media who promote elaborate, and frequently costly, methods of “optimising” their health.

Bryan Johnson, the former technology chief executive, is one prominent example. He has spent millions on his personal biohacking programme, monitoring more than 100 biomarkers each day and undergoing regular medical interventions in an effort to slow ageing.

PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel has also backed several longevity research initiatives, including investigations into young blood transfusions, known as parabiosis, as a possible anti-ageing treatment.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, have likewise supported biohacking and longevity efforts.

“What do they all have in common? They’re men,” Azra says. “Some of their work is helping move the field forward, but much of the research reflects male priorities — extreme performance, muscle optimisation and pursuing longevity at any cost.”

Challenging that male-dominated image of biohacking has become one of Azra’s central missions.

“At first, I followed all the biohacking bros because there weren’t many female biohackers,” she says. “But as I learned more, I began to think, ‘Hang on — this doesn’t necessarily feel right for me as a woman.’”

As she investigated approaches better suited to female biology, the first biohacking practice Azra abandoned was cold plunging.

‘My husband and I would have competitions of who could stay in the cold plunge for longest,’ she says. ‘But that’s not necessarily great for the female biology because it can increase our cortisol levels – and ladies, we’re already stressed enough!’

Many biohacking trends come with a hefty price tag.

‘Yes, it would be great to have your own personal hyperbaric oxygen chamber at home to be able to use on a daily basis,’ she says. ‘In an ideal world, that’s mostly unaffordable for most people.’

Despite what the biohacking bros might tell you, she insists, extending your health span can be low-cost or free.

‘My number one biohack is sleep,’ she says. ‘I know that can feel unachievable for women, especially with young children. But sleep is really important for reducing inflammation, for eliminating metabolic waste out of the brain, and for making sure that we retain memory.’

Her recommended ‘sleep hactivities’ are practical and, for the most part, low-cost: set a lunchtime coffee curfew, ditch screens before bed, and try supplements like magnesium glycinate that can help relax the nervous system.

For women, she also recommends avoiding ‘long, drawn-out workouts’ that increase cortisol, increasing protein, lifting weights and reducing alcohol without having to opt for teetotalism.

When it came to supporting herself through menopause, she opted for ‘an alternative approach’ that included a high-protein diet, regular saunas to manage hot flashes, and Black cohosh – a flowering plant native to North America. ‘I took this during the peak of my menopause symptoms to help manage hot flashes and night sweats.’

Despite not opting for hormone replacement therapy, she is not all-natural. ‘Yes, I’ve had Botox done,’ she says. ‘Absolutely, because if I don’t, I look like I’ve got a cranky b***h face.’ In her early thirties, she had a breast augmentation, which she doesn’t regret.

She believes there is a side of biohacking often overlooked, especially by the bro scene: ‘Chronic unhappiness shortens lifespan’.

‘If you’ve ever been through a period of chronic stress, grief or deep unhappiness, you know what it does to your body,’ she says. ‘You feel exhausted, foggy, physically drained and even prone to illness. That’s not a coincidence.’

Azra has experienced this first-hand.

After her first marriage ended in 2009 and two of her sons decided they wanted to live with their father, she experienced ‘a constant turmoil of sadness, pain, anger, frustration, stress and worry’ that lasted for years.

‘I know deep in my heart that those emotions contributed to my years of suffering from migraines, constantly getting sick, the chronic stress I experienced and my mindset, which I have worked hard to turn around.’

When her stress was high, she took a biological age test. ‘Despite being 54, chronologically, my biological age was 73,’ she says. ‘The extreme stress I was going through at the time had a massive impact.’

This is why, as well as changes to diet, sleep and exercise, her ‘hactivities’ focus on increasing optimism and gratitude, and reducing work stress wherever possible.

‘This means turning off work notifications after hours, creating no-work zones like your bedroom, and communicating your availability clearly to colleagues’ – without feeling guilty about it.’

At the start of her self-experiment, she set herself clear goals: ‘to keep my body young enough to do whatever I want for the next fifty years; to continue doing activities I love like horse-riding and to maintain cognitive function to continue to have political debates with my husband.’

Now 57 years old, Azra arguably looks younger than her age – but how old does she feel?

‘I feel like I’m 21,’ she says. ‘I’m not on any medication; I don’t have any injuries or ongoing niggling issues with joints, and, in my later years, I have done more challenging activities than I ever did when I was younger. I’ve climbed a volcano, I’ve parachuted out of a plane, I’ve started a new business, I’m learning how to speak French, I bought a farm and spend days in the paddocks learning how to garden.

‘I don’t allow my age to be a barrier to doing anything I want to do.’

The 16-year-old boy who died in a devastating light-aircraft crash alongside his 80-year-old flying instructor was completing just his 10th flight lesson, it has emerged.

The teenager was killed when the Piper Tomahawk II came down during a training flight near Loch Lomond on Friday afternoon.

Police have not released the boy’s name. He and instructor Ian Haggis died after the two-seater aircraft crashed in a field north-east of Drymen in Stirlingshire.

After the aircraft disappeared, the teenager’s parents and Mr Haggis’s wife were summoned to a portable cabin at Glasgow Airport, where they were given the devastating news.

An aviation expert told The Daily Mail that the tragedy was especially difficult to comprehend because the teenager had only reached his 10th flying exercise.

Stuart Abernethy, a retired company director who lives locally, said he watched the final moments of the aircraft’s flight from his driveway.

“I was standing in the driveway when I heard the aircraft engine revving unusually loudly,” Mr Abernethy said.

He looked up and saw the light aircraft during what appeared to be the final 10 seconds of its flight, spiralling downwards. He said he did not see the moment it hit the ground or hear an impact, only watched it disappear from view.

There was no visible smoke or crash noise, he recalled, before everything suddenly went quiet.

Mr Abernethy said the aircraft was flying low and did not appear to be in a steep dive. Instead, it seemed to “fall out of the sky” in a spiral while the engine continued to roar.

He said residents were used to hearing training flights before watching them safely return several minutes later, but on this occasion the engine noise was followed by what he described as “deathly silence”.

Tributes have since been posted online for Mr Haggis, who was affectionately known in aviation circles as the Flying Haggis.

One friend wrote that Mr Haggis had been a close friend and instructor, adding that their thoughts were with his family after the fatal air accident.

Others remembered him as a gentleman and a highly experienced aviator.

Another tribute described him as a legend and said the circumstances surrounding the crash were known only to God.

Mr Haggis was associated with Renfrew-based Leading Edge Flight Training. The company’s Facebook page includes a photograph of him instructing a student last year.

The flight school said it was devastated by the fatal accident involving one of its aircraft and two members of the Leading Edge family.

In a statement, the company expressed its deepest sympathy to the families, friends and loved ones of both victims.

‘Leading Edge Flight Training is assisting with the investigation.’

An aviation industry insider said: ‘I’ve known Ian for a long time, he’s a lovely man.

‘Very generous, and passionate about flying, always wanting to help others learn. This is such a tragedy.’

A previous company that Mr Haggis worked for, Phoenix Flight Training in Cumbernauld, described him on its website as an experienced commercial pilot.

It states: ‘Ian has had an interesting flying career to date, initially instructing RAF Scholarship students before moving on to become a commercial flight instructor.

‘He spent many years as an air taxi pilot – transporting passengers and freight, air ambulance and traffic “eye in the sky” before moving on to become a corporate pilot.’

His plane, a 45-year-old Piper Tomahawk II, took off from Glasgow Airport shortly on Friday at 4.15pm and stopped transmitting around 20 minutes later.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at about 4.45pm. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

It is not known who was flying the plane at the time.

The minimum age to begin logging hours for a pilot’s licence is 14, but the minimum age for flying solo is 16. A pilot’s licence needs 45 hours of flight time.

The teenager was on his 10th flying exercise when the crash happened.

The crash site was cordoned off by Police Scotland and a tarpaulin was draped over the plane. Temporary airspace restrictions, including drones, were put in place.

In a statement, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch said: ‘An investigation has begun into an accident involving a light aircraft which occurred on October 16 2026.

‘A team has travelled to the accident site near Drymen, north of Glasgow, to make inquiries and gather evidence as part of the process of conducting a safety investigation.’

Gavin Birch-Williams, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: ‘This is a deeply tragic event, and the thoughts and heartfelt sympathies from all at Glasgow Airport are with the friends and families affected.’

An Air Force service member has died after falling more than 150 feet from the Alamodome’s rafters during a pregame demonstration Saturday night, Air Force officials confirmed.

The service member, whose identity has not been released, was one of four personnel rappelling from the stadium ceiling before the Navy-UTSA football game. He reportedly slipped down the rope before crashing onto the field at high speed.

He was taken to a hospital, where he later died, according to Nellis Air Force Base Public Affairs. The circumstances surrounding the fall remain under investigation.

The death was first reported by Task and Purpose, a publication covering military affairs. The Airman was assigned to the 6th Combat Training Squadron, which provides advanced skills training for special warfare Airmen.

Videos recorded from several vantage points showed the Airman striking the field as thousands of spectators watched in shock. Alamodome medical personnel immediately ran to assist him.

Initial reports from the San Antonio Express-News said he was removed from the field and transported to a nearby hospital.

‘The entire place went quiet, the band stopped playing. Everyone was completely silent,’ witness Adrian Corey told KSAT.

Adrian’s mother, Siomara, said the moments after the accident were marked by uncertainty and concern.

‘There were no updates afterward apart from requests for prayers, but it did not look good,’ she told KSAT.

A similar rappelling demonstration took place without incident before a 2025 Army-UTSA game at the Alamodome.

Saturday’s game began after a 10-minute delay. UTSA ultimately defeated Navy, 38-34, and many players gathered for a team prayer afterward for the injured Airman.

‘I know we said a prayer after the game, but they will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers, and we are truly thinking about them,’ Roadrunners quarterback Owen McCown told reporters.

The American Conference, home to both Navy and UTSA, issued a statement Saturday before the Airman’s death was announced.

‘The American Conference is deeply saddened by tonight’s pregame incident at the Alamodome,’ the statement said. ‘Our thoughts are with the individual involved, their family and colleagues, as well as everyone who witnessed or was affected by the incident.’

‘We consulted with representatives of both participating member institutions, Alamodome management, local authorities and a working group to review the information available,’ the statement continued. ‘We respect the family’s privacy and will coordinate any further updates with the appropriate authorities. We are also working with our member institutions to help connect those affected with available support resources.’

In a statement to the Daily Mail, a UTSA spokesperson said: ‘We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at the start of tonight’s football game. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the soldier who was affected, his family and his military colleagues.’

‘We recognize that members of our campus community may be emotionally affected by this incident and are activating wellbeing services to support our faculty, staff and students.’

The school has offered counselling services to students in need of assistance. 

The viral X user known as Freddy was at the game and later shared a post about the incident before news of the Airman’s death had been publicized.

‘Another college game done,’ the semi-anonymous social media influencer and minor World Cup celebrity wrote on X amid his prolonged tour of the United States. ‘UTSA got the win against Navy! Thank you to all the nice people that we met today.

‘Unfortunately,’ he continued, ‘there was a serious accident before the game, which is why I stopped updating on here. Our thoughts are with the service member and his family.’

After the game, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor described the situation he faced in the locker room as his anxious team looked to take the field. 

‘The only information I had was there had been an incident, and the game was going to be delayed, and we didn’t expand upon it any further than that,’ Traylor said, as quoted by the Express-News. ‘I didn’t know if I did the right thing or not. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t know what to tell them, so that’s how I handled it.

‘What I heard that happened is heartbreaking, but I want to give the family time,’ Traylor added. ‘They’re in our prayers. It’s tragic.’
