Narrative:

A corporate jet departed and I radar identified them and issued a climb to FL190. I noticed the corporate jet turning a mile off the departure end; and thought they were joining the radial on the porte departure. However; their turn continued past the radial and that's when I quickly issued a 280 heading and amended altitude of 5;000 to avoid the air carrier who was the previous departure. The air carrier was west of the airport headed south and the corporate jet's turn and climb rate caused them to quickly converge with the air carrier. That's when separation was lost. I'm not sure of what could be done because the pilot turned early rather than following the SID.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: TRACON Controller described a loss of separation event when departure traffic turn early on an assigned SID cutting off a previous departure; pilot error was listed as the causal factor.
