Narrative:
After turning and descending the crj-900 I was dealing with a VFR south east of gpt that had traffic coming at him and didn't realize in time crj-900 hadn't turned as quickly as I anticipated and he was descending faster than I anticipated. In all honesty I remember him being higher than he was when I glanced back up at him. Crj-900 was on the border of our antennas north of gpt 1780 highest obstruction where MVA is 3000 ft. His attitude when I saw was leaving 2900 ft. For 2800 ft. Almost out of the MVA circle. No recommendations for the airspace I understand I just miscalculated the situation.
