Brock Turner expected to be released from Santa Clara County Jail Friday

Source: SF Gate

Brock Turner, the former Stanford University student and swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious and intoxicated woman in 2015, is expected to be released from the Santa Clara County Jail this Friday, September 2, after serving only half of his six-month sentence.

As the Associated Press reported in June, early releases are common for good behavior.

Back in January 2015, Turner was detained for the campus assault after two graduate students saw Turner and a woman behind a garbage bin. When the 19-year-old Turner tried to flee, the two students caught him and held him down until the police arrived and made the arrest. Turner was later charged and found guilty of three felony counts of sexual assault.

6. I hope his internet infamy is forever. His Google results need to be linked to the rape indefinitely

If I lived in his town, I'd start a club dedicated to openly mocking him any time he's seen in public.

And that would still only be a shadow of the pain with which his victim (just the first, probably) will live.

I doubt he'll be employable after this. There's more than one kind of prison. I suspect he'll be serving in a different kind of prison for a long time. The whiny little punk may have had the judge on his side. The general public won't be as lenient on him.

He wanted to be a surgeon. That dream is doused. He'll probably go work on Wall Street. Being a predator is a job requirement.
