Brock Turner, the Stanford swimmer who was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, may only have to serve half of his six-month sentence.

The Washington Post reported that Turner, 20, could only have to serve three months. Turner was convicted of assaulting a 23-year-old woman behind a campus dumpster in January 2015.

On the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office website, it says Turner will be released on Sept. 2.

A sheriff’s spokesperson James Jensen told the Washington Post: “That date was given to us by the court system.” Jensen said inmates typically serve half their jail sentences unless there are disciplinary problems.
