Chanel Miller: Emily Doe in the Brock Turner sexual assault trial speaks out | 60 Minutes Australia
Before the Me Too movement, Chanel Miller was fighting her own incredible battle. She went to a party at a prestigious university, thinking it would be safe and expecting to have a good time. Late in the evening a student, well-known because he also happened to be a champion athlete, sexually assaulted and then discarded her behind a dumpster. To add to the insult, the attacker was barely punished for his crime. Chanel, although devastated, vowed to fight back, with a strength she didn’t know she had. But as Karl Stefanovic, on assignment for 60 MINUTES, reports, Chanel Miller not only had to take on her attacker – she also had to battle a broken system which, far from supporting her, tried to make her disappear.

Pittsburgh Polar Plunge Raises More Than $500,000 For Special Olympics
The Pittsburgh Polar Plunge had dozens in attendance Saturday, either as spectators or those taking a swim in order to benefit the Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
The 2020 Pittsburgh Polar Plunge required that individuals donate at least $50 or more for Special Olympic athletes. As part of the tradition, participants took a plunge into cold waters even in the freezing temperatures. While the event was held at Heinz Field, people dove into small pools instead of the river.
Many police departments took part in the fundraising festivities. Pittsburgh Police, Millvale Police, Mt. Lebanon Police, Shaler Township Police and state troopers are just a few law enforcement departments who participated.
A regular attendee is Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert.
“We’ve never done it before and through the commitment of a lot of people who dug down deep from the teams to the people in the community, giving from their heart, so we’ve raised over $570,000, which we’re just so, so happy just to make that mark,†Chief Schubert said. “We know really where it goes to and that’s for the athletes. They don’t have to pay for anything.â€

Explore Georgia’s Martvili Canyon
There was a time when the exquisite blue-green waters of Martvili Canyon were only open to Georgian nobles, who would visit to bathe. Now, everyone is welcome to boat and swim here. The picturesque natural wonder is located in Samegrelo, a coastal region of Georgia known for being a historical center of the country’s cuisine and culture. The two-level canyon is thick with moss and other plant life and dotted with waterfalls and caves. And even on the hottest days of summer, the water that pools in the lower level of the canyon is refreshingly cool.
