11-year sentence for Milwaukee woman who killed her sex trafficker draws outrage

Chrystul Kizer, 24, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for the murder of the man believed to have been trafficking her since she was a teen.

USA TODAY

#ChrystulKizer, the child sex trafficking victim who killed a 'white' rapist and abuser with a history of targeting under-age 'black'' girls (fyi, well-known to the pigs 🐷 🐷 ), will serve 11 years in prison for defending herself. 😡

Remember, #KyleRiddenhouse a #farright 'white' male who broke at least 2 laws before murdering 2 unarmed #antifascist protesters (#AnthonyHuber and #JosephRosenbaum) in #Kenosha, got off scot free. 😡

Sex-trafficking victim Chrystul Kizer gets 11 years for killing her abuser

The decision ends a six-year legal saga that tested the limits of the court’s leniency toward trafficking survivors who commit crimes.

Ok, I have thoughts about Chrystul Kizer being sentenced to prison.

The monster she killed was a known sex trafficker of young black girls. He’d been arrested and released without bail by the same cops that arrested this girl. He brutalized and trafficked this child, and she killed him. (I have no problem with that, personally. )

Wisconsin has a 2008 law on the books that allows trafficking as a defense, and her lawyers chose to plead out instead of taking it to trial.

I’m not a lawyer, but from the outside, that sure as fuck looks like malpractice. Let’s find a way to free this kid.

Chrystul Kizer, charged with killing her suspected sex trafficker, receives 11 years in prison

A Milwaukee woman who confessed to killing a man she claimed sexually trafficked her was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Monday in Kenosha. Her case has garnered significant attention.

It is just mind blowing how the Chrystul Kizer case seems to have gone completely unnoticed by every reactionary fuckstain who has been hollering about "groomers" and sex trafficking over the past however-many years. I've looked and I've found nothing -- really just nothing -- from a whole bunch of people one might naively expect to have something to say about this.

InfoWars? Nothing.
Jack Posobiec? Nothing.
Gays Against Groomers? Nuh-uh.
Any of the big QAnon people? Nah.
Moms for Liberty? Nada.
Stew Peters? Nope.
Tim Ballard or OUR? Nothing that I could find.

I don't even know what to say about these assholes. I mean, it's not like I expect any better from them, but holy shit, they could at least keep up appearances or something. I can't actually imagine them saying much that would be at all productive or helpful, but their silence really does speak volumes about their objectives.

Public defender Jennifer Bias said #ChrystulKizer acted in #SelfDefense after Volar had pinned her to the ground while *trying to initiate sexual contact* [was #SexuallyAssaulting her].

Prosecutors declined to comment, & Kizer’s atty was not immediately available following Mon’s sentencing.

>30 states have #AffirmativeDefense provisions that allow #SexTrafficking victims [survivors] to be acquitted of certain charges against them if they can prove at trial that a #crime was committed because of their #abuse.
#Kenosha County DA Michael Gravely had argued that #ChrystulKizer carried out a premeditated killing to steal Volar’s BMW
