>30 states have #AffirmativeDefense provisions that allow #SexTrafficking victims [survivors] to be acquitted of certain charges against them if they can prove at trial that a #crime was committed because of their #abuse.
#Kenosha County DA Michael Gravely had argued that #ChrystulKizer carried out a premeditated killing to steal Volar’s BMW

Public defender Jennifer Bias said #ChrystulKizer acted in #SelfDefense after Volar had pinned her to the ground while *trying to initiate sexual contact* [was #SexuallyAssaulting her]. Prosecutors declined to comment, & Kizer’s atty was not immediately available following Mon’s sentencing.

I think justifiable homicide should have been a good defense whether he was raping her at the moment or not.
I suppose it would open the door to a rash of pimp killings, but would that really be a bad thing?
