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.
 
Christ, some of the comments in this thread...

Are you guys okay? Do you need a blanket and a snack? Do you need to talk? :(
With how some are, I wouldn't be surprised if their tism is enough to drown out the rest of us saying "good, fuck Bruck Turner" while giving some ammo to others that think we're all incels.

Perhaps it’ll provide people the comfort of knowing that they’re not alone in being a victim of rape? Even if it does become a preachy book about privilege, who gives a shit? She deserves to be able to handle whatever she’s feeling in a productive manner. Even if you don’t buy into the privilege system, rape victims can still empathize with her, and that’s good. They need to know that they’re not alone.
As far as privilege goes if it is ever brought in, I'd take a swig if it manages to go over more of Turner being of rich parents than just being some white guy that got caught raping a drunk woman. All that said, it wouldn't be far from the idea that it gives the idea in that those who gone through rape aren't alone, complete with all the motivating words and phrases to help reinforce that sense that one isn't alone.

This is the worst thread on this entire website. Good lord, you people trying to be Brock's apologist are legitimately insane.
At this point, one could call this a honeypot to see how many will use this thread to bitch about the SJWs and lolcows appropriating feminism while failing to understand exactly why this thread shits on Turner.

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.
Youre saying he got caught by a group that are tolerant of rape in thier own country?

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.

An actual dragged-behind-the-dumpster rape victim is a "grifter" because she dares to talk shit about the man who assaulted her.
You know, maybe Tumblr was on to Isomething when they said this site was full of incels...
Wait, you are trying to shame people into shutting up by agreeing with tumblr? Lmao that's hilarious

If you guys don't stop not believing that woman or the media or whoever it is that you don't believe, I'm going to tumblr! You have to believe this story! And this time I mean it! You even included an ellipsis at the end, like you are so disappointed and so lost in thought about tumblr that you just drifted off without ending your sentence XD

Also, you know where all this skepticism is coming from right? Hint it's not 'hatred of women' it's because every other case like this turned out to be a fucking lie. Even a monkey would have picked up the pattern by now.

Yes, I'm the joke and not the man reading 8 levels deep into a shitpost. I don't want you to shut up. On the contrary, keep going. Please explain to me how Brock Turner dindu nothing, despite the fact that he's well breached the threshold where, I suspect, if Brock Turner's name was Abu Turmanijad, you would be calling for his head on a spike.

You can say whatever you want, and I can react to that however I want. That's what free speech absolutism means.
 
This woman isnt some screeching harpie crying foul over men. There was a trial and a conviction of Turner because you know...he actually assaulted her.

Go back to /pol/ and circlejerk with those brainlets, you pompous moron.
“The judge proves he is guilty also fuck the judge for giving him a slap on the wrist! Recall the judge this is raaapeculture!!!”

This was a jury trial. The man was tried by an unbiased jury of his peers and found guilty of sexual assault. The judge decided the sentence. You can disagree with the length of the sentence while agreeing that someone is guilty.

Either you cite the system as an authority or you don't. You don't get to throw the court case in my face as proof of his guilt, and then bitch and moan about how unfair it's results were.
 
Thoughts on the Central Park Five?

A travesty, though irrelevant to this topic. They were pressured into confession for multiple charges and they were used against them during their respective trials. IIRC, there was no other substantial evidence the prosecution could use. Turner's case had 2 witnesses that got involved in stopping his assault, not to mention that DNA evidence gathering has evolved tremendously from 1989.
 
I don't think there was a civil suit. I guess this is better than being litigious.

Which disproves Turners equally plausible story how? He (possibly) was almost as drunk as her and the event started with consent and she for all we know blacked out seconds before these witnesses arrived. He ran, because DUH he is extremely drunk and its a scary situation.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had brain damage.
You see, there's this thing called nuance. Nuance means you can have an opinion that isn't completely binary. For example: with this case, I think that the legal proceedings went correctly up until the point of sentencing, at which point I believe the judge (who until this point has minimal involvement in the case) made a bad decision.
To illustrate nuance, let me give you an analogous situation: let's say I am a baker selling bread in an open-air market. To further add to this anachronism, let us say my wallet is stolen by an urchin. I call on the guard, the boy is arrested, and my wallet is returned. Now, however, the boy is going to have a hand cut off, because this is an anachronistic society where retributive punishment is still the norm. I object to this, because although the boy is a thief and does merit some kind of punishment, I believe the punishment is disproportionate to the crime.
This is how most people understand the world. What you are doing- trying to distill everything down into simple, binary choices- is called black-and-white thinking, and is usually seen as a sign of mental illness or emotional and mental immaturity.

Are you literally retarded? I never said that you don't get to disagree with the judge and agree with the jury. I said that it's some hack shit to arbitrarily choose the jury as an authority on the truth, because they agree with you, and cite them in an argument as proof. While at the same time arbitrarily considering the judge NOT an authority because he disagrees with you.
