Lo que llego despues fue vivir bajo un pseudonimo y uno de los juicios mas mediaticos de la historia de EE. UU., tras el que Turner fue sentenciado a tan solo seis meses de carcel. Decidio compartir en la red la carta que leyo a su violador en el juicio: Tu no me conoces, pero has estado dentro de mi, y por eso estamos aqui hoy, empezaba. Once millones de personas la leyeron en cuatro dias, y provoco la indignacion de un pais y la reaccion internacional. Despues de cuatro anos viviendo en el anonimato ha dado el paso de hacer publica su identidad. Y ha contado su historia.Tengo un nombre son unas memorias intimas y profundamente conmovedoras, que transformaran para siempre nuestra percepcion sobre la violencia sexual y que reclaman justicia, sobre todo, pero tambien el derecho a seguir viviendo.
