SAN JOSE, Calif. — Brock Turner, whose six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at Stanford University sparked national outcry, has been released from jail after serving half his term. The one-time Olympic hopeful swimmer walked out the main entrance of the Santa Clara County jail Friday shortly after 6 a.m. PDT. The 21-year-old must register as a sex offender for life and faces three years of supervised probation. Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said Turner was given a large packet of hate mail on his release. “He will be treated no differently than any other sex offender we monitor,” Fischer said.
