Sex Trafficking Victim Sentenced to 11 Years for Killing Abuser

Chrystul Kizer, who killed her alleged trafficker at 17, faces prison despite self-defense claims under Wisconsin law.

Chrystul Kizer was sentenced to 11 years for killing Randall Volar, who allegedly trafficked her starting at age 16.
Kizer's defense argued she acted in self-defense, citing a Wisconsin law protecting trafficking victims.
The judge ruled Kizer could not be the 'instrument of reckoning' for Volar's actions, despite acknowledging her abuse.
Kizer's case has sparked debate over justice for trafficking victims and the application of self-defense laws.
Advocates criticize the sentence as a failure to protect victims of sex trafficking, calling for legal reforms.
