The woman who was sexually assaulted while unconscious outside a Stanford fraternity in 2015 is releasing a book and making her name public for the first time.

Chanel Miller's book "Know My Name" will be released on Sept. 24.

Stanford law professor Michele Dauber is applauding the move.

"She is a very talented writer and is good at making real the implications of sexual violence and the mishandling of sexual violence by powerful institutions," said Dauber.

Miller was sexually assaulted by Brock Turner. He was a freshman at Stanford at the time. She was a recent college graduate and was attending a Stanford fraternity party.

Wednesday afternoon, ABC7 News spoke to Congresswoman Jackie Speier, who led the efforts to have members of Congress read Miller's statement on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in June of 2016.

"I'm looking forward to reading her memoir cause I'm sure it's going to be a powerful example of how we can overcome adversity," said Speier. "Let's never forget though that Brock Turner almost got off scot-free."

Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months in county jail, even though he faced up to 14 years in prison. Persky said at the time he was worried about the impact a long sentence would have on Turner, a swimmer who once was considered a contender for the Olympics.

Take a look at full coverage of the Brock Turner sexual assault case.

Persky became the first California judge to be recalled in 80 years. Professor Dauber was the chairperson of the committee to recall Persky.

"I think people are going to read the book and be convinced that Aaron Persky had to go and the recall was correct. I want to point out that many victims of sexual violence are subjected every day to the same mistreatment from the legal system and universities like Stanford," Dauber said.

Stanford University released this statement:

"We applaud Ms. Miller's bravery in talking publicly about the ordeal she has experienced and the horrible act that she suffered on our campus. As a university, we are continuing our efforts to prevent and respond effectively to sexual violence, with the ultimate goal of eradicating it from our community."

Miller's book was profiled Wednesday morning in the New York Times. The paper says she was paid for the book but the publisher declined to say how much.

Lindsey Mansfield, a survivor's advocate with the YWCA of Silicon Valley, says the #MeToo movement continues to be empowering for many.

TIMELINE: How case against Brock Turner ignited debate on sexual assault

It's been more than a year since former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman after a campus party.

"For some people, it may mean stepping forward and sharing something. For others, it may mean listening to other peoples' stories, or receiving support around their assault," said Mansfield.

Miller also gave an interview to 60 Minutes in advance of the release of her book.

Well this should be a shitshow.

I love that she doesn't seem phased in a single photo lol

Brock Turner is an actual rapist piece of shit so I have no problem with this at all.

 

[Muttnik]

Brock was caught in the act by a pair of Swedish bikers if I recall and tried to run. If she wants to make some money off of roasting his cowardly rapist ass, go ahead.

The biggest tragedy of the case is that he was caught in the act by Swedes. If he'd been caught by men instead there would've been no need for a trial.

I'm more amazed that Swedes actually managed to stop anyone from getting raped. Did they lose their citizenship over that?

They're glamour shots for the latest attempt to pretend that there is some big issue with sexual assault at universities that can only be fixed by lowering the burden of proof for their kangaroo courts from 51% to even lower. Of course she's pleased.

Given the media harassment campaign against this young man for being the poster child of 'campus sexual assault' (a student athlete who actually was a student and doesn't have twice as many vowels as expected in his name) for drunkenly fingerblasting a fellow drunk, we will never know if he was really guilty of the allegations against him or not.

Yeah I really wish I was on that Jury, so I could have actually known what happened. I just can't trust the media to be honest about this kind of stuff or much of anything really. Chances are he fingered a passed out chick though who he was previously hooking up with with consent. Definitely illegal, but also not quite as bad as what the whole thing was made out to be. The fact that that wasn't the original story unfortunately makes me have to question things.

Do you people just hate women?

A&H whenever a story about sexual assault pops up: "Rape culture isn't real!"
Also A&H:

She's going to make millions. Can someone rape me too?

Are you a heterosexual male?

I mean, anyone with a brain in their head knows that if you get caught in the act by other people when trying it on with a woman who's embarrassed by being caught engaging in what the two of you are doing, there's a chance you get fucked over. Brock played the game and he lost. That doesn't mean he's guilty of rape by the definition of a civilized society, in which young ladies do not get blind drunk and engage in extramartial fondling.

Neither my mother, my grandmothers, or my great-grandmothers would have been victims of silently being felt up behind a dumpster while passed out drunk. I mean, there's probably a prostitute or a loose woman in everyone's family history if you go back far enough, but if 'rape culture' is the problem here, it certainly didn't exist back then.

Lol Nope.

 

[Gordon Cole]

I'm sure all the rape dindus here will make sound, perfectly logical points.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

She's going to make millions. Can someone rape me too?

I can but I'd rather fuck you to death so no "millions" for u

 

[The Last Stand]

Good, one in a few instances where a female was sexually assaulted and her rapist gets off practically scot free gets to tell her story. Fuck Brock Turner, rot in hell.

He was literally caught raping somebody behind a dumpster, even two witnesses.

one of these things is not like the others,
one of these things does not belong
...
Only one of these was even a denial of the crime and it was probably a joke given the account

She's going to make millions. Can someone rape me too?

The MeeToo grift seems to have been adopted by the rich and famous now. I have to wonder how much room there will actually be for this girl. I doubt she would get nearly as much as she would have a year or 2 ago. Terrible timing IMO.

Nobody with a brain trusts the media. We're too jaded to false sexual assault accusations.

If this guy actually is guilty then he should have been sentenced to rot in jail for a few decades, but who the fuck knows these days.

The JUDGE let him off easy likely because of his dad. He was later disbarred.

This shit all went down before Me Too.

I'm not well informed enough on this case to make any judgement...

Other than Swedes aren't real men.
