Former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was released from jail early Friday after serving half of his six-month sentence on a sexual assault conviction.
Turner walked out the front door of the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose, Calif., at 6:07 a.m. local time, according to the San Francisco Chronicle .
Turner, 21, was convicted in March of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in January 2015 outside a Stanford fraternity house. Prosecutors sought a six-year term in state prison.
Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months in county jail. The sentence was reduced to three months because of good behavior.
