Convicted rapist Brock Turner will be leaving jail this coming Friday. After being convicted of sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman back in January 2015, the ex-Stanford swimmer was sentenced to a six-month stint in the county jail last June.

Due to the convicted rapist's "good behavior," however, he would be getting a free pass for the last half of his sentence. He had only been in jail for three months.

Turner courted controversy after his sentence was handed out by notorious judge Aaron Persky, who stated that any sentence more than six months would have a "severe impact" on the convicted rapist. The judge also expressed his complete confidence that Turner would be suffering enough since he would be required to register as a sex offender.

Jurors and women's rights supporters, however, begged to differ. The gravity of the charges against Turner was significant, with sexual assault carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years. The prosecution was trying to have him behind bars for at least six years. With the case against Turner pretty much iron-clad, there seemed to be little doubt that justice would be served.

Alas, Judge Aaron Persky thought differently.

The public backlash over Persky's decision was notable, with many accusing the controversial lawman of being biased. With Turner being a white male from a privileged family, the light sentence seemed to fit the profile of a biased judgment.

Now, Turner is about to be set free. While he would be on probation for the next three years, the convicted rapist would be allowed to roam free. During the course of the case, Turner has neither expressed remorse for his victim, nor apologized for his crimes. His statements in court centered his blame on his victim's intoxication, never on the fact that he was caught sexually assaulting a woman red-handed.

The fallout from Turner's case continues to be felt today, with Judge Persky requesting to be moved to a civil court over the public's backlash from Turner's case. Supporters of Turner's victims are also abounding, and calls for a graver sentence for the convicted rapist are still ongoing.
