Woman sentenced to 11 years in prison for killing man who allegedly sexually trafficked her

A Milwaukee woman has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for the death of a man who allegedly raped and sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager.

The controversial case has been in the national spotlight for years.

CHRYSTUL KIZER, NOW 24, Pleaded GUILTY IN MAY TO “NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER” IN THE KILLING OF 34-YEAR-OLD RANDALL VOLAR IN 2018.

AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, KIZER WAS JUST 17.

KIZER'S DEFENSE ATTORNEYS SAYS THIS MAN CONTACTED KIZER WHEN SHE WAS 16 AFTER SHE POSTED AN ONLINE AD FOR PROSTITUTION –

HER LAWYER SAYS KIZER TURNED TO THE SITE OUT OF DESPERATION TO FEED HER SIBLINGS.

WHEN VOLAR AND KIZER MEET –

VOLAR HAS ALREADY BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH MINOR GIRLS AS OLD AS 12.

POLICE LATER FOUND EVIDENCE OF ABUSE AGAINST SEVERAL VICTIMS.

VOLAR WAS ARRESTED IN FEBRUARY 2018.

INJURED AND RELEASED WITHOUT BAIL.

FOUR MONTHS LATER, KIZER SHOT VOLAR, SET HIS HOUSE ON FIRE AND LEFT THE SCENE IN HIS BMW.

According to THE WASHINGTON POST, Volar filmed himself abusing KIZER on several occasions.

KIZER'S DEFENSE ARGUED SHE SHOULD HAVE IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION UNDER A 2008 Wisconsin SEX TRAFFICKING LAW.

BUT A TRIAL WOULD MEAN KIZER WOULD POSSIBLY FACE A LIFE SENTENCE.

SO IN MAY, SHE PLEADED GUILTY TO A LESS CHARGE OF SECOND DEGREE NEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER.

When the verdict was announced, no cameras were allowed in the courtroom to record.

BUT KENOSHA COUNTY JUDGE DAVID WILK SAID

“THE COURT IS AWARE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MR VOLAR. BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE THE INSTRUMENT OF HIS SETTLEMENT. TO CLAIM OTHERWISE MEANS TO APPROVE A DESCENT INTO LAWLESSNESS AND CHAOS.”

BEFORE HER SENTENCE, KIZER QUOTED THE BOOK OF GENESIS FROM THE BIBLE, ADMITTED HER SINS AS SHE DESCRIBED THEM – AND ASKED FOR MERCY.

FINALLY SENTENCED TO 11 YEARS IN PRISON.

SOME DEFENDERS OF VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING CALL THE VERDICT UNFAIR AND PROMISE TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR KIZER'S FREEDOM.
