SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KGO) -- Brock Turner has become the face of campus sexual assault, literally. His picture is showing up on another college campus in California.

The letters on a sign at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo are big and read, "Don't Be That Person." There's also a familiar face in the background.

It's a photo of Brock Turner, the former Stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman outside of a frat party on the Stanford campus.

"At first, I was like, 'That's creepy,'" said Cal Poly freshman Ren Blanding. "But you think about it and think, 'That's Brock Turner's face,' and that smiling face gets really dark and ominous real fast."

The letter read by his victim in court led to a worldwide outcry over his six month jail sentence. He served just three months in the Santa Clara County Jail.

A student group called Safer created the poster. The group hopes it will help spark a conversation on campus about sexual assault.
