The woman who Brock Turner was convicted of sexually assaulting in 2016 has come forward, not only revealing her real name but also releasing a new memoir.
In the book titled"Know My Name," which she began working on in 2017, Chanel Miller discusses the assault, which occurred after a fraternity party in 2015, The New York Times reported.
In January 2015, Turner was a 19-year-old freshman and swimmer at Stanford and Miller, then identified only as Jane Doe, was a 22-year-old recent college graduate who went to the party with friends. A Santa Clara County jury convicted Turner in March 2016 of three felony charges: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated/unconscious person, penetration of an intoxicated person and penetration of an unconscious person.
In June 2016, however, trial Judge Aaron Persky drew criticism when he sentenced Turner to six months in county jail and three years' probation, based on the recommendation of the probation department. Prosecutors had asked for a six-year prison sentence. Some of the backlash against Persky also stemmed from Turner’s being sentenced to jail rather than prison. The judge had cited the"severe impact" that prison would have on the athlete.
