 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A former Stanford University swimmer whose six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman ignited widespread outrage will leave jail three months early. 
 
 Online inmate records show 20-year-old Brock Turner is expected to be released from the Santa Clara County jail on Sept. 2. He was booked June 2. 
 
 County jail inmates serve 50 percent of their sentences if they keep a clean disciplinary record. Calls to the county Department of Correction weren't immediately returned Thursday. 
 
 Turner was convicted of attacking the woman he met at a fraternity party in January 2015 and was sentenced last week to six months in jail and three years' probation. 
 
 The sentence triggered criticism that a star athlete from a privileged background had gotten special treatment. Prosecutors had asked for six years in prison.

 This story has been corrected to show that Turner would be released three months early, not two. ||||| The Stanford sex offender who blamed his assault of an unconscious woman on the "peer pressure" of fitting in at college was sentenced to just six months in jail. But he'll likely spend less time than that behind bars. 
 
 Brock Turner was sentenced June 2 to six months in county jail followed by three years of probation. But booking records show he'll walk out of his cell on Sept. 2 -- after just three months. 
 
 During his brief stay behind bars, Turner will remain in protective custody, as perpetrators of sexual assault are often targeted by other inmates, according to TMZ. 
 
 Santa Clara Department of Correction Booking information for Turner shows his scheduled release date is Sept. 2. 
 
 His release date takes into consideration that he will likely not misbehave, allowing him to get out earlier for good behavior, The Daily Mail points out.

 In a tone-deaf statement by the 20-year-old sex offender, Turner blamed his actions on Stanford's "party culture" while simultaneously turning himself into the victim of his own horrific actions: 
 
 "I've been shattered by the party culture and risk taking behavior that I briefly experienced in my four months at school," Turner's statement reads. "I've lost my chance to swim in the Olympics. I've lost my ability to obtain a Stanford degree. I've lost employment opportunity, my reputation and most of all, my life." 
 
 Turner's father had an equally outrageous statement, saying his son's conviction is "a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life." 
 
 That "20 minutes of action" included Turner penetrating an intoxicated, unconscious woman until two Swedish Stanford students took notice of the assault. Turner attempted to run, leaving the woman in the dirt, before being tackled by the men. 
 
 "One needs to recognize the influence that peer pressure and the attitude of having to fit in can have on someone," Turner said in his statement. "One decision has the potential to change your entire life."
– People already outraged about Stanford rapist Brock Turner's six-month jail sentence aren't going to like this next piece of news: He'll likely go free after only three months. The AP reports Turner, convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman during a frat party last January, was booked at the Santa Clara County Jail on June 2 and is scheduled for release on Sept. 2. As a rule, county jail inmates only serve half their sentences as long as they behave. Prosecutors had asked for the 20-year-old swimmer to serve six years in prison. During his three months in jail, Turner will be under protective custody to keep him safe from his fellow inmates, who frequently target those convicted of sex crimes, according to the Huffington Post. Meanwhile, Turner's father, friends, relatives—and even Turner himself—continue to deflect blame for his crime.
