PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Stanford rapist Brock Turner signs sex offender registry in hometown where he has been focus of fury

• e-mail

Stanford rapist Brock Turner has emerged from his home for the first time - to sign the Ohio sex offender registry.

The convicted sex offender had five days to sign the register following his release from San Jose's Main Jail South last Friday morning.

But he chose to do it early - arriving at the Greene County Sheriff's Office in Xenia at approximately 8.40am EST this morning.

Once there, he spent less than half an hour inside and could be seen filling in forms supervised by local law enforcement.

Former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, 21, was seen going into Greene County Sheriff's Office in Xenia, Ohio, on Tuesday, where he signed the sex offender registry 

The meeting comes just four days after Turner was released from a California jail, where he served just three months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious 23-year-old woman

Turner had Thursday to check in with authorities. He checked in early, entering the sheriff's office on 8.40am to have his meeting

Probation department sources told Daily Mail Online that Turner (pictured driving away from the office following his meeting) will be expected to check in with them 'at least once a week'

Now that he has signed, the 21-year-old will remain on it for life - and will have to put up with regular visits from local law enforcement.

Flyers featuring his picture, details of his crime and home address will also be distributed to neighbors in the small town of Bellfield, where the convicted pervert now lives with his parents, Dan and Carleen.

Turner, who celebrated his 21st birthday in prison at the start of last month, was released from a California jail after serving just three months of a six-month sentence last week.

Collected by his parents, he spent his first few hours of freedom at a Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in Mountain View, California - just eight miles from the scene of his crime in Palo Alto.

Afterward, he and his parents flew home to Ohio where he was reunited with his brother and sister and was seen enjoying the sunshine in the back yard of his family's home on Sunday.

But Turner's return to Ohio has been hit by protests - with a handful of angry locals seen demonstrating outside the suburban house on Friday night and Saturday morning.

A larger protest against the former swimmer's 'lenient' punishment took place in San Jose, California, just hours after he was released at 6.09am Pacific time on Friday.

Turner will remain on probation for three years and will not be able to leave Ohio without permission or move home without the consent of authorities.

While at the sheriff's office on Tuesday, Turner was was fingerprinted, photographed and told to sign the local sex offender registry

He will also have to undergo drug and alcohol counseling, be subjected to random chemical testing and be banned from possessing firearms.

Local Probation department sources told Daily Mail Online that they cannot give precise details of Turner's schedule but said he will be expected to check in with them 'at least once a week'.

'It really depends on how things go,' added the source. 'He will have to speak to his case officer regularly - whether on the phone or in the office.

'With a case like this, we would usually do home and work visits too but it depends on the terms laid down by the court.'

Like authorities in California, who insisted that Turner leave jail via the front entrance like every other criminal, Ohio law enforcement say the pervert will be treated 'like every other sex offender that comes through the doors'.

'We're not treating him with kid gloves,' Green County Sheriff Gene Fischer said last week. 'We're going to treat him like every other sex offender that comes through the doors.'

Turner, a former champion swimmer, was convicted in June of sexually assaulting a 23-year-old woman during a party at the Kappa Alpha frat house on Stanford's Palo Alto campus.

The victim, who has not been named, was unconscious at the time – although Turner claimed in court that she had appeared 'satisfied' with their interaction.

Two passing Swedish students spotted Turner on top of the victim, who had and still has a serious boyfriend, chased him and wrestled him to the ground – holding him there until the cops arrived.

A supporting letter from Turner's father in which the rape was dismissed as '20 minutes of action' later sparked outrage after being read out in court – as did others portraying the pervert as a victim of campus drinking culture.

In reality, Turner was no stranger to drugs and alcohol and only confessed to heavy boozing and dabbling with LSD after probation officers told him that text messages exposing his lies had been made public.

As a result, additional conditions pertaining to drugs and alcohol have been added to the terms of his probation – with the convicted rapist facing another trip to court and a possible jail term if found to be drinking or taking illegal substances.

Turner, who began his jail sentence on June 2, spent most of his time inside at the 674-bed Main Jail South in San Jose, California.

His first month behind bars was spent four miles away at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas, which accommodates prisoners in barracks and a sprawling tent city.

However, due to the nature of his crimes, Turner was kept away from the general population and was eventually transferred to the more modern Main Jail.

Sources at Elmwood told Daily Mail Online that the transfer took place after he was put into 'protected custody' – a status usually reserved for pedophiles and prisoners at risk of harm from other inmates.

'They had to move him because he's a PC [protected custody],' a guard, who asked not to be named, told this website.

'The guy messed up but he's privileged, so… In the end, he wasn't here [at Elmwood] for very long – they moved him [to Main Jail] two months ago.'

Main Jail South, which opened in 1956, features tiered cells spread over several floors with each prisoner held in an open-style room fronted with bars.

As at Elmwood, prisoners are given three meals a day – cooked by other inmates – and can attend classes if they wish to.

Now back in Ohio, Turner can expect to receive regular visits from law enforcement – with Fischer saying cops will 'pop in unannounced' every few months.

'We will go down to his house where he is living to confirm he is living there,' he said. 'We will pop in unannounced from time to time to make sure he's living where he says he's living.'

Turner is now planning to appeal his sentence in the hope of having his name removed from the sex offender's register.

Turner will be living with his parents at their Bellfield, Ohio, home as he serves his probation
