Chrystul Kizer was 17 when she shot Randall Volar III, who filmed his abuse of her. A Wisconsin judge will decide whether she deserves prison or a counseling program.
Not to defend the pedophile rapist, because I’m not, but the self defense part of this has a lot more nuance than most people know. I encourage you to look it up for yourself but she essentially tracked this guy down on purpose and shot him.
Was it justifiable? I think yes. Was it Self Defense? Arguably not. It was 99% Revenege.
I would compare this to Lorena Bobbitt. You have a point in that this girl tracked him down, but arguably he presented an ongoing threat as long as he was free—especially if he knew she was the reason he got busted. But she also probably relived the abuse constantly in her head. Years and years of abuse redefines who you are as a person.
Self defense might be a stretch, but were I on that jury she'd never see the inside of a cell.
In February 2018, four months before Volar’s death, a 15-year-old called 911 from Volar’s house, saying a man had given her drugs and was going to kill her. Officers found her in the street, drugged and shirtless. She alleged that Volar had been paying her for sex since she was 14. She warned them that he was also filming his abuse of other girls, including one named “Chrystal.”
Police found “hundreds” of videos of child sexual abuse in Volar’s home, including more than 20 he’d filmed himself. Some of those videos showed Kizer.
Volar was arrested and charged with child enticement and child sexual assault. But the same day, he was released. He remained free for months, and no criminal charges were officially filed.
Kenosha prosecutor Michael Graveley said that his office did not know the age of the girls in the videos, and delayed filing charges until they could determine whether they were minors.
But records obtained by The Post show that investigators described many of the girls being abused in Volar’s videos as appearing to be in their early and mid teens. One, they wrote, could have been as young as 12.
This story is also about how police and the prosecutor failed to do their job, and now two families are destroyed.
People have no clue that a lot of prosecutors are just as corrupt, if not more corrupt than police and they often have easier access to judges in private to sway trials one way or another.

Why? What made this guy special such that direct evidence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) would be found and no charges were filed? Because for most ordinary people, that would not be the outcome.
Jesus Christ, they literally found videos of the man raping this girl, and they sent him back home to do it some more. Then they arrested the child victim for defending herself...
But it wasn't a trans woman so the right-wing "protect the children" crowd doesn't give a shit.
She's been charged and plead guilty (which took life with no possibility of parole off the table), but now it's a question of whether she gets prison time or an alternative for her sentence
Whenever I shit talk these bots I get downvoted to hell. I really don’t think we need them, they don’t provide any added value. If you want to know about the bias of a source, go find out. No need to spam every single post with a bot that can’t even analyze lesser-known sources. I’m really happy I don’t see the summary bot as much as anymore, now this one has to go.
In a world where the right wing is all about book banning and restricting access to information that doesn't fit with their own narrative, providing wide access not only to everything on the Internet but also to thousands of books, newspapers, podcasts and all kinds of documents sounds quite left to me.
