On January 17 2015 at California鈥檚 Stanford University a young woman went to a party. A few hours later, she was found unconscious beside a bin. She had been sexually assaulted.

To protect her identity in court, the victim was known as Emily Doe. We knew little else about her. We knew a lot about her attacker: he was Brock Turner, a student and swimmer, and his sporting prowess became part of his defence.

The case caught global attention when BuzzFeed published Emily Doe鈥檚 7,000-word victim statement. The post received 11 million views in four days, yet the writer remained anonymous. Until now.

This month Emily Doe revealed herself as Chanel Miller, a 27-year-old literature graduate and artist. In this episode we speak to 麻豆官网首页入口 reporter, Lauren Turner, who met Chanel to talk about why she wanted the world to know her name.

In the UK, the rape crisis national freephone helpline is 0808 802 9999. In the US, the national sexual assault hotline is 1-800-656-4673. Further information and support for anyone affected by sexual assault can be found through 麻豆官网首页入口 Action Line
