Emily Doe's victim impact statement was published on June 3, 2016. In it, the girl described the evening of January 17, 2015, and how her life was divided into two parts: before and after. That evening, she and her sister Tiffany attended a Stanford University party.

Emily herself was the type of person who did not like to cause discomfort to others. She was modest and quiet and avoided the public, but like any healthy person, she sometimes needed company and joy. She also worked, and her first job was at a startup, where she created an educational platform for children.

Her younger sister Tiffany, a junior at Cal Poly, spent more time at home with friends. However, on that life-changing evening, Tiffany suddenly decided to focus on her sister. Emily's desire to spend more time with her sister made her agree to go to a disco. Emily knew she would be the oldest there, but decided to relax.

The following morning, she found herself at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in a neighboring town without realizing why. After some time, she was told that she was a victim of violence and began to undergo tests and various checks.

Having arrived home, she could not eat, sleep, or socialize with people. Moreover, for a week after the violence, she did not receive any news, neither from the doctors nor from the police. The only reminder was the sweatshirt from the hospital in her drawer. One day at work, she came across an article about herself while reading various news on her phone. It was the time Emily found out how she was found.

This 22-year-old's real name is not Emily Doe but Chanel Miller — the author of *Know My Name*. She decided to change her name to protect her identity. Unfortunately, violent attacks are not uncommon, and their nature varies. According to the FBI, any penetration is rape. Yet in California, rape means the act of sexual intercourse. In Emily's case, the guy filled a cavity in her body with his hands. For this reason, she could not call him a full-fledged rapist for fear of being corrected in the wrong terminology.
