-Lurid Crime Tales-
Woman, 19, is facing life in prison for killing a man who 'raped her and sold her for sex' - after judge rules she cannot use law that shields trafficking victims as a defense
2019-12-20
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Chrystul Kizer confessed to shooting Randy Volar in the head twice and burning his body at his home in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in June 2018

  • Authorities say she was one of about a dozen victims Volar sexually abused and filmed without their consent

  • Volar had been arrested for child sex crimes four months before his murder but was inexplicably released

  • Chrystul was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and arson by the same district attorney who conducted the Volar investigation

  • The prosecutor says Chrystul, then 17, had planned the murder in advance

  • Chrystul says she acted in self defense after he drugged her and tried to have sex with her after she told him she didn't want to

  • The teen's lawyers sought to apply an 'affirmative defense' under a state law which shields victims of sex trafficking

  • The law allows victims to be acquitted of certain charges if they can prove they committed the crime because they were being trafficked

  • A judge ruled on December 9 that the defense did not apply to Chrystul's case

  • Her lawyer is now preparing to appeal that ruling as Chrystul remains in jail
