Seems like it would not be notable under  or . Also under wikipedia Wikipedia:NOTNEWS#Wikipedia_is_not_a_newspaper|is not news . This was not a nationally or internationally known criminal act or criminal until the unexpectedly light sentence was reacted to. The person is convicted of 3 counts of sexual assault and he happened to be a university level competitive swimmer. Neither of these justifies a wiki page to himself. His father's reaction is not surprising, "parent advocates for their child" is surely not newsworthy, nor should judges really listen when a parent advocates for their own child. It would be far more surprising if a parent said to the court, "my child should be punished severely". Merge into a page on sentencing for sexual assault convictions, and how this case generated a strong public reaction
