Brock Turner, former Stanford swimmer, is set to be released this Friday after serving just half of his six-month sentence for sexual assault.

Stanford University has been no stranger to media attention of late, over 20-year-old Brock Turner who will likely serve only three months for the rape of an unidentified unconscious woman during his freshman year.

A former Stanford University swimmer whose six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman caused widespread outrage will leave prison three months early.

A petition has been instigated by a Stanford Law professor to remove a judge who gave a six-month sentence to a young man who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman.
