Career
Gregg Turkin relocated to New York State in 1989 and later began working at the Office of the Nassau County District Attorney. In 2002, Turkin, while serving as Nassau County's Assistant District Attorney, prosecuted James Warren of Hampton Bays, New York in a landmark torture and sexual abuse case. Warren was found guilty of 63 assorted charges of kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. Turkin sought the maximum penalties with consecutive terms totaling 300 years. I believe James Warren knew very well that that girl was 15, and he knew what he was doing the minute he got on the Internet, Mr. Turkin said.[4] On February 12, 2003, Warren was sentenced to a prison term of 150 years to life. Judge Alan L. Honorof issued the sentence requested by Turkin and the prosecution. Turkin said he had never heard of such a long sentence, except in homicide cases, but added that it was fully justified.[5]
