"Emily Doe" will reclaim the story of her sexual assault, expose the arduous nature of the legal system, and emerge as a bold, unifying voice. In June 2016, Doe read aloud her victim impact statement to Brock Turner, who was convicted of three counts of felony sexual assault. After Turner was sentenced to only six months in county jail, Doe´s twelve-page statement was released publicly, and instantly resonated with millions. It was read on the floor of the United States Congress, translated into more than five languages, and prompted significant change: the judge who presided over the trial was removed from the bench and California sexual assault laws were amended to protect victims in the future. Now, Emily 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.
