Emily Doe is Chanel Miller
Chanel Miller was raped by Brock Turner around the same time that I was sexually assaulted by a college student on Winter Break and just 9 months before I would be raped by a fraternity pledge. I told my story about the latter event shortly after it happened and you can find it simply by googling my name, "Hailey Rial" and clicking on any of the various links to it. Chanel Miller gave an inspiring and harrowing interview with 60 Minutes four years after the trial. Click above, listen, and discover why. Let's figure out how to end this epidemic of sexual assault and rape- especially in schools and universities.
In the wake of the sentencing, there was a national uproar. And after a contentious special election, Judge Aaron Persky became the first judge to be recalled from California's bench in more than 80 years. The case also led to significant changes in California law, setting mandatory prison sentences for anyone convicted of assaulting a person who is unconscious or intoxicated and expanding the definition of rape to include nonconsensual sexual penetration.
