(CNN) Former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner walked out of jail Friday after serving three months of a six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. The brevity of Turner's sentence triggered outrage against the judge and controversy over how the justice system treats sexual assault survivors. Like most offenders in California sentenced to county jail, Turner, who turned 21 while in jail, was released under a law that gives inmates credit for time served. In the meantime, supporters of the judge responded with their own campaign this week with a website called "Retain Judge Persky." Ohio monitors sex offenders based on a three-tier system , which has different requirements for each level.
