Editor’s note: This story contains details about sexual assault that may be triggering for some viewers.
Chanel Miller is the author of a new memoir called “Know My Name.” You might not have heard her name before, but you’ve probably heard her story. In January 2015, she was unconscious when she was assaulted by a student athlete named Brock Turner outside of a party on Stanford’s campus. Turner was found guilty in 2016 of three felony counts of sexual assault and sentenced to six months in county jail. He only served 90 days. His light sentence ignited a nationwide debate about consent and privilege. Miller’s victim impact statement was released on BuzzFeed, and immediately went viral around the world. Her identity was kept private under the alias Emily Doe the entire time. Now, she’s reclaiming her narrative and telling her story on her own terms.
