In March of 2016, the case of “Emily Doe” rocked the nation when Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner was convicted of raping her behind a campus dumpster.
The anonymous sexual assault victim’s impact statement stabbed at the hearts of millions who empathized with her painfully traumatic experience that opened America’s eyes to the dangers of rape culture.
Doe’s powerful 7,000-word statement addressed to Turner was read at the trial, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, and translated into five languages.
Now, “Emily Doe” has decided to come forth, putting a name and face to the woman whose life was forever changed by Turner’s “20 minutes of action,” as his father infamously referred to his assault.
In a “60 Minutes” interview with Bill Whitaker, victim Chanel Miller bravely tells her story for the first time. The episode is scheduled to air on Sunday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT on CBS.
In an emotional clip from the upcoming segment, Miller reads an excerpt from her victim impact statement that was delivered in a California courtroom to Turner, who served only three months in jail for his heinous crime.
