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.
His name should never be forgotten! Good for her
Dude caught a rape case on that?! Jeez
A majority of campus sexual assaults involve alcohol, as intoxication makes victims much more vulnerable. Of course we should lock up predators like Turner, but we also need to teach young people the importance of deterrence.
Of course always the💸💰💰💰
*sexual assault survivor. No longer his rape victim. Do better.
Life is sometimes confusing as the crime that took her pride is also making her famous and successful 😂😴.
This is a case of a Judge, Aaron Persky, protecting the 'elite'. Hopefully, Chanel Miller will get her justice now. Though reliving this is still traumatizing, she remembered the two students, Carl-Fredrik Arndt & Peter Jonsson who saved her. They truly are heros.
I hope she continues to heal and reclaims her life.
Thank you for not calling him “Stanford Swimmer Brock Turner” anywhere in your article! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Making a buck off her assault. Pretty classless.
How does Brock Turner’s fingers smell?
I will sharing this story with my teenage son and daughter
