The sexual assault victim of Stanford swimmer Brock Turner — known for years as “Emily Doe” — revealed her identity Wednesday ahead of releasing a memoir about the harrowing attack, according to a report.

Chanel Miller of San Francisco — who was targeted by Turner while unconscious outside a frat party in January 2015 — will speak out for the first time publicly on “60 Minutes” Sunday, CBS News reported.

In 2016, her rape case shot into the national spotlight when Turner was convicted of three felony sexual assault charges, for which the maximum sentence was 14 years.

But the judge, Aaron Persky, hit the then-20-year-old student with a wrist-slap sentence of only six months, sparking outrage from critics who called it too lenient.

Turner ultimately served just three months in jail.

During the pre-#Metoo trial, Miller famously read a scathing statement directly to Turner in court, saying, “You don’t know me but you’ve been inside me … You cannot give me back the life I had.”

Miller is a writer and an artist who has a bachelor’s degree in literature from the College of Creative Studies at UCSB.

“It is one of the most important books that I’ve ever published,” Andrea Schulz, editor in chief of Viking publishing, told the New York Times. “[It could] change the culture that we live in and the assumptions we make about what survivors should be expected to go through to get justice.”

After the trial, Persky was recalled by California voters in a move the state hadn’t taken in more than 80 years. Gov. Jerry Brown also signed a bill implementing mandatory minimum sentences in sexual assault cases.

In May, Turner lost an attempt to appeal his conviction and will be required to register as a sex offender, according to CBS.
