Brock Turner victim writing memoir

The woman who former Stanford student Brock Turner was convicted of assaulting is reportedly writing a memoir. 

Viking Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, will publish the memoir that was written by the woman, known publicly as Emily Doe.

{mosads}“Emily Doe’s experience illuminates a culture built to protect perpetrators and a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable,” Viking editor-in-chef Andrea Schulz said in a Wednesday statement.

“The book will introduce readers to the writer whose words have already changed their world and move them with its accounting of her courage and resilience.”

The statement said that Doe “will share her experience in emotional, honest and eloquent detail. Her story continues to be a testament to the power of words to heal and effect change.”

The case gained national attention and sparked outrage after Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail in 2016 after he was convicted of felony sexual assault. Turner had faced up to 14 years in prison for the crime.

The judge who delivered the sentencing, Aaron Persky, was later recalled. 

Doe’s impact statement, which she read in court, was widely shared.
