Teenager Facing Life in Prison for Killing Man She Says Raped and Sex Trafficked Her
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Wisconsin, a teenager is facing life in prison after she confessed to
killing a 34-year-old man who she says raped her and trafficked her for
sex. Randy Volar began sexually abusing Chrystul Kizer when she was 16
years old. He filmed the abuse. In February 2018, Volar was arrested on
charges of child sexual assault - but he was then released without bail.
Volar, who is white, remained free despite police having evidence he was
sexually abusing a dozen black girls. In June 2018, Chrystul killed him
after she says he attacked her when she refused to have sex with him.
Chrystul is now facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide,
which carries a mandatory life sentence in Wisconsin.
