Convicted Sex Offender Brock Turner Released From Jail After Three Months
Brock Turner walked free from a California jail early Friday after serving three months of his six-month sentence in a ? case that has drawn outcry over how certain sexual assault offenders are sentenced.
The ex-Stanford swimmer left the Santa Clara County Jail alone just after 6 a.m. local time, carrying a brown paper bag and his jacket tucked underneath his arm. He did not speak to reporters and was whisked away by a waiting car.
Upon Turner's release, he must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, complete a sex offender management program and submit to random drug and alcohol tests. He is expected to return to his native Ohio while he completes a three-year probation.
His release comes as new photos surfaced from when he was arrested in January 2015, just after he sexually assaulted a woman, police said. The images show him disheveled, apparently bruised and with a torn shirt.
The pictures, provided exclusively to NBC News, were used as evidence in his trial in March.
Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner appears disheveled after he was arrested earlier this year for sexual assault.
The sentence was blasted by critics as too lenient, especially when the first-time offender faced a maximum of 14 years behind bars.
Turner, who has since been banned from Stanford and the sport of swimming, was tackled by two other college students who witnessed the assault behind a dumpster outside of a fraternity house. He later told police he was too intoxicated to know what was happening — a defense used in court to account for his behavior.
In an interrogation video seen by NBC News, a detective asked Turner if he would recognize the woman if he saw her again.
"Uh, probably not," the then-19-year-old responded.
He also told the detective that he didn't set out to sexually assault anyone.
"My intentions were not to ? a girl without her consent ... I was just trying to hook up with a girl," he said.
"We were so ? ," Turner continued, "we didn't even know what we were on or what we were by."
At his sentencing in June, the victim read a letter to Turner that went viral when it was published online.
"You have been convicted of violating me, intentionally, forcibly, sexually, with malicious intent, and all you can admit to is consuming alcohol," she wrote. "Do not talk about the sad way your life was upturned because alcohol made you do bad things. Figure out how to take responsibility for your own conduct."
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, however, agreed with letters from family members and supporters that Turner's future would suffer if given the harshest penalties — prompting an outcry from groups supporting sexual assault victims.
Others are also launching a recall campaign against Persky, who was re-elected to a six-year term in June. The judge is fighting back with his own anti-recall effort.
"I believe strongly in judicial independence. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to appease politicians or ideologues," Persky said in a statement this week.
Meanwhile, the controversial sentencing has led California lawmakers to take their own action.
A bill that passed the state Assembly this week would require courts to treat punishment for those convicted of a sexual assault against someone who's unconscious or too intoxicated to give consent the same as if the victim were conscious. There's no indication if the governor will sign it.

If two are ? you should get charged.
But if he was black.
Well, ya know how the story go. -
No wonder most rapes go unreported. Even when you know one took place, there's a chance the attacker will go free. Multiply that by 100 if the attacker is white with money.

Most rapes go unreported because the THOT wasn't sexually assaulted or some freak nasty Nate Parker ? went down. -

Cosign, but considering how the whole case was handled, I wouldn't be surprised if he was in PC. -

Smh at this faux "outrage."
I blame liberal white women for this.
They choose to rally & protest the short sentence for Brock Turner, because it directly affects them.
But where is the outrage when unarmed black men are gunned down, and cops are let off by the same corrupt judicial system??
They don't understand that their silence on these issues actually enables white male privilege, that breeds Judges like Aaron Persky.
In the words of MLK......
"Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere." -

He wasn't in prison; he was in county jail, I believe.
And probably in solitary confinement.
They wouldn't put this precious little white boy in prison. -
Blah
-
This isn't even a case of white privelage. I think it's more about money and connections.

White privilege IS about money and connections. Skin color is a part of the reason CACs are able to earn the money and network with other CACs who will look out for them. Thus the meaning behind the phrase, "having the complexion for the connection." -
? will be a misdemeanor in a few years. Women have helped that cause too by all the ? lies resulting in false convictions and waste of tax payers $ . Didn't some white politician bark publicly about some ? ? a few years ago? They showing their hand (concern) and it ain't much. You have a hierarchy in society and politics that hate broads man. Brock's pops had to nerve to say "20 minutes of action shouldn't ruin his life."
