Later, the girl told The Washington Post that the man paid him for sex, an activity that in Wisconsin is considered “child sex trafficking.”

Kizer, however, was charged with murder, a charge that automatically carries a life sentence. In this state.

At the time, 1.5 million people signed an online petition to close this case because the young woman killed Volar in self-defense.

A fund raised some $400,000 in 2020 for her to be released on bail. However, the case was stalled.

the lawyer of kizer invoked from the start a state law that exonerates victims of “child sex trafficking” when they commit crimes “directly” related to the abuse.

For the prosecutors, however, the murder was not a “direct result” of the violence against the young woman, but was planned to steal Volar’s car.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court finally awarded Kizer a first victory on Wednesday.

“Human trafficking can lock victims into a seemingly endless cycle of abuse for months or even years”describes the sentence.

“An unforeseeable crime or one that does not happen immediately after the abuse can be a direct consequence of trafficking, as long as there is a logical connection between the two,” the court ruled in a text approved by a narrow majority. Kizer is now authorized by the court to present this defense argument at trial.
