A former Stanford University swimmer has been found guilty of rape.

A Palo Alto, California jury of eight men and four women deliberated for less than two days before deciding to convict 20-year-old Brock Turner on three counts of sexual assault on Wednesday.

The young man from Dayton, Ohio now faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 2.

As Turner was read his fate on Wednesday, he looked down in disappointment while his mother wailed and stomped her feet. Meanwhile, the victim smiled and then started to cry.

Former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner (left, on March 23) was found guilty on Wednesday of three counts of sexual assault

The 20-year-old from Dayton, Ohio (left, on March 23) was arrested after raping an unconscious woman outside a fraternity party in January 2015

Turner admitted that he fondled the unnamed victim - a 23-year-old UC Santa Barbara graduate who lived in Palo Alto - but has always denied that he raped the woman.

The athlete was arrested around 1am on January 18, 2015 when two graduate students bicycling on campus saw him on top of a woman who wasn't moving, in the bushes outside of the Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Two graduate students caught Turner in the act and pinned him to the ground until police arrived on the scene

The two students pinned then 19-year-old freshman Turner to the ground when he tried to run away and then held him until police showed up.

Turner claimed he was just walking away because he felt like he was going to throw up.

'We are very proud of our students who saw something that was not right and intervened, and then followed through with the investigation and through the trial,' Lisa Lapin said in a statement provided to NBC Bay Area.

When police arrived on the scene, they found the victim unconscious on the ground with her underwear beside her. She did not wake up until hours later at the hospital.

The victim also testified at the trial, saying she decided to go to the party with her younger sister and two of her younger sister's friends.

The victim said she drank about four shots of whiskey before heading to the frat house for the party, and that she drank vodka when she got to the house.

The victim described her state of drunkeness going from 'buzzed' and 'silly' to 'very out of it' and 'not articulating much' later on when one of her sister's friends handed her a beer.

She didn't drink much of it and she doesn't remember meeting Turner.

However, her sister also said that she appeared 'fine' about 45 minutes before the assault.

She woke up in the hospital with no memory of the attack and a sheriff's deputy telling her she may have been the victim of sexual assault.

A sexual assault response team nurse testified that the victim suffered abrasions on her buttocks and internal abrasions to her private area. Turner also had abrasions and soil on his arm, hands, ankle and back.

Turner had aspirations of swimming in the Olympics. He withdrew from Stanford after the sexual assault arrest

The victim had three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system at the time of the attack. Since she was black-out drunk, she was unable to consent to having sex.

Turner, on the other hand, had two times the legal amount of alcohol in his system, but testified on the stand that he was able to walk and talk normally.

He told the jury that he and the victim agreed to go back to his dorm room and that she was a willing participant in the sex they had outside the fraternity party.

Prosecutors described Turner as the 'quintessential face of campus sexual assault' as they implored the jury to look past his youthful looks and judge him based on the shocking evidence.

'No means no. Drunk means no. Passed out, unconscious means no, and sex without consent means criminal assault,' Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said.

In high school, Turner was a three-time All-American swimmer. He had ambitions of swimming in the Olympics, but withdrew from Stanford after his arrest.

He remains free on $150,000 bail.

He pleaded not guilty last year to the three charges of assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person and sexual penetration of an unconscious person.
