Brock Turner, former Stanford University swimmer and convicted rapist, has been released from county jail after serving just three months of his six month sentence.<\/p>\n
Many people have expressed outrage and hate toward the 21\u2013year-old who was given an easy sentence (you can thank Judge Aaron Persky for that). However, his small Ohio hometown isn\u2019t letting him forget about the horrific crime he committed.<\/p>\n
As Turner returned home to Green County, Ohio, his street had been lined with angry protesters who held signs that said things like, \u201cIf I rape Brock Turner will I only get three months?\u201d and \u201cProtect survivors, not rapists.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to CNN, County Sheriff Laurie Smith isn\u2019t happy about the rapist\u2019s short sentence.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should be in prison right now, but he\u2019s not in our custody,\u201d Smith told reporters outside the county jail.<\/p>\n
Turner\u2019s easy sentence was just the start of a tough life he will live, the life he deserves. He was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
He is not permitted to live within 1,000 feet of a school or playground and a letter to notify neighbors within 1,250 feet of his home will be sent out.<\/p>\n
As a huge portion of the United States focuses on the awful assault this college boy committed, an equally large portion continues to reach out and send strength to his victim, who remains unnamed.<\/p>\n
His victim has shown strength since Turner\u2019s trial, and issued a very powerfully written letter to her rapist, the jury and most importantly the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
You can read the letter on CNN\u2019s website. You might need a box of tissues, though.\u00a0http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/09\/02\/us\/brock-turner-release-jail\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By AMY TAINTOR Brock Turner, former Stanford University swimmer and convicted rapist, has been released from county jail after serving just three months of his six month sentence.
