Her victim-impact statement in court went viral, and now Chanel Miller has made Time magazine’s 100 Next for advocating for sexual assault survivors.
“An artist and writer and only 27 years old, Chanel will make many more beautiful things. She will make the world a better place, and she will make all of us a bit better,” professor Christine Blasey Ford wrote about Miller in Time magazine’s 100 Next list.

Miller was sexually assaulted in 2015 by Brock Turner. As “Emily Doe,” she delivered a powerful impact statement at his sentencing that went viral. The judge then sentenced Turner, an Oakwood native, to six months in jail.
He was released after three months, and is now registered as a Tier III sex offender in Greene County.
Miller released a memoir “Know my Name” about the incident in September and appeared on 60 minutes.
