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.

His story makes no sense because he fled and freaked the fuck out as soon as he was seen. If things were how he described why did he immediately run? Seems like he might have reacted a lot differently if things were fine and dandy before they "fell down together." Furthermore the chick was blackout drunk. She didn't come to consciousness until hours later at the hospital. It's quite the leap of logic to think she was giving consent, fell down, passed out black out drunk and old blue balls decided to just keep going because her last words were fuck me or something before she fell.

More likely is he followed her, saw her pass out wasted, and then made his move. Only Brock knows for sure but his "alibi" makes zero sense given the facts we have.

Neither story is more believable than the other. They're both plausible. Date rape is still rape though. I don't know why people feel the need to make it something other than that without any evidence or anyone saying so, which is what rubs me the wrong way. I'd be equally inclined to believe someone who would date rape someone would run when confronted.

TWO students had witnessed the attack, trying to stop him but he ran off.

What on earth does the fact that he didn't stick around to bork bork bork with the two Swedish homosexuals (cyclists) have to do with anything?

Brock Turner is a piece of shit who deserves to get locked away for being a rapist piece of shit.
If the woman he raped was just drunk and not drugged in any way against her will then she got what she deserved too. Stupid games, stupid prizes.
Also those swedes are fags for not kicking his ass.

Clearly he was doing something wrong, got caught and tried to high tail it to escape it.

Here's an analogy. Say you leave your keys in the car, then somebody takes your car (or belongings inside) and gets caught in the process. Do you say: "Oh, I left my keys in the car so it's not theft technically." It would still be theft, taking something that isn't yours and you'd be liable for criminal charges with a witness as well.

Maybe you should watch this video to understand consent.

If you come to my house and ask for tea then refuse it after I've steeped it for you, I'm kicking you out of my house.

Jesus H. Christ if the slopes in here get anymore slippery Brock Turner is going to try and fuck them.

He said she said aside, The dude got a slap on the wrist for a crime that anyone else would have been doing 10-20 years for because his in-shape Jonah Hill looking ass has rich parents. I don't think anyone here is legit on his side and it's fine if anyone is initially skepitcal of what has happened. Hell when I first heard about this case I immediatly thought "OH for fucks sake it's Duke lacrosse all over again" and then actual witness testimony happened.

Here's an analogy

You're a hardworking young working class African American male. You leave your keys in your 80s Caprice and lock yourself out. You go inside to get a leftover window blind to adapt to let yourself back in.

Twenty minutes later, you've almost got the driver's door lock open when you hear a shrill old white woman (Swedish sexual perv #1) yell "There he is, officer, get him!" You look around and a toad like white police officer (Swedish sexual perv #2) is drawing down on you. He yells "Stop that, nigger! Don't move a muscle! Get down on the ground!"

Do you hang around to be murdered by a cop, or try and escape with your life?

There is only one way to handle that particular scenario..

Spoiler

Laugh damn you all!

 

[Anonymous For This]

See, this is an interesting part of the case. If you were inclined to be a rapist, and you'd dragged a woman behind a dumpster, would you be finger-fucking her, not even getting your dick wet? It sounds weird, if you believe that he was an actual rapist, rather than just another victim of the cult of alcoholism and immorality that is Western society.

The only thing interesting at all about that is that you're dumb enough to believe what you just typed.

Guys, he didn't put his pee-pee in her. You gotta acquit. Travesty of justice.

Touche, no matter what black people do, it's always something.

I remember a similar rape case around that time involving a black athlete, he got the full 14 years.

That being said, this should've been an open and shut case. America's judicial system isn't always fair; that judge did not deliver justice.

Wait why are comments like this always dragging the woman down too?

Wait why are comments like this always dragging the woman down too?

People just like to analyze all aspects and angles, like why and how it happened.
Because if I get wasted and pass out downtown and get robbed when I'm asleep, yes it's a crime, yes the thief should be punished for robbery, but it's also my fault for being put in that situation. It's not a morally "righteous" thing that I become a victim but more of a Darwinist victimization.
Booze-loaded frat parties are known to have sexual activities ongoing and frat boys are known to be sexually forceful on occasion. Mix in a judgement impairing substance like alcohol and it's a recipe for disaster. I'm not saying she should have been raped but I'm not saying she's blameless in this either.

Do you people just hate women?

I kinda hate women, but that doesn't make Brock Turner any less of a cunt.

It’s not like rape and getting drunk are comparable. At all. Hell it’s more heinous because he’s taking advantage of someone in a dangerous situation who couldn’t say yes or no.

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

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

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.

he wasnt a peaceful refugee in a "sexual emergency"

You're right, it is bad that he took advantage of her when she was really vulnerable.
But why did she let herself get into that situation in the first place? A wild party with a bunch of rowdy drunken strangers doesn't sound like the best place to let yourself be vulnerable. What was her thought going into this? Was it just stupid naivete?

And what if it was? "Stupid naivete" isn't something that should be punished. "She shouldn't have let herself get into that situation" carries no meaningful moral judgement.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

IMO Turner was taking advantage of her or raping her, I don't have any questions about that, but I have questions about what her memoir will be about, besides Turner. She's in her lower 20's, right? Will it be about happy meal toys of yesteryear and how she got an iphone when she was ten and discovered youtube?

 

[ES 195]

I never said it did. I never said it should be punished but more that it probably will be, like it always is regardless of the situation. My initial comment just boils down to "what did you expect to happen?" "Shouldn't have gotten in that situation" is just common sense and typical 20/20 hindsight.

What's her memoir supposed to be about anyway? How the shitty rich kid gets his shitty father to tamper with the court and gets off scott free and she has to live with it? Again, although sadly, she's not the first one to go through this. Courts are crooked as fuck and things like this happen all the time.

Like I’ve given people shit for doing similar dangerous things, but that doesn’t mean I would have placed any blame on them if they were assaulted.
