Chrystul Kizer, a Wisconsin teenager accused of killing her alleged sex trafficker, was released from jail on Monday after an unnamed organization paid for her $400, 000 bond.
“It was incredible to see that we were able to bond Chrystul out,” said Santera Matthews, an organizer with the Chrystul Kizer Defense Committee, which has been working with other organizations to raise awareness about the case.
According to CNN, Kizer, who is black, was allegedly trafficked by Volar, who was white, beginning when she was 16 years old, the bond fund said.
According to the news release, when Kizer’s case ends, a majority of the returned bail money will be used to establish a national bail fund for criminalized survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Prior to her release, Kizer was facing life imprisonment for admitting to killing Volar, who abused her and sold her to other men for sex.
