You probably don't know the name Chanel Miller, but chances are you have heard of her court case and the name used to protect her identity: Emily Doe.
She was sexually assaulted in 2015 by a Stanford University athlete named Brock Turner, who was found guilty of three felonies, including assault with intent to rape. 
Before his sentencing, Emily Doe stood in the courtroom and delivered a powerful victim impact statement detailing the emotional trauma the assault and the legal process had put her through. 
It instantly went viral - becoming a kind of manifesto for assault survivors all over the world. 
In an exclusive interview with 60 Minutes Sunday night, Chanel Miller reclaimed her identity as the author of that statement and shares her story for the first time. 
As you can see in the video above, she chooses her words carefully when she speaks, just as she did when she put them to paper for her new book, aptly titled, "Know My Name."
