a 17 year old black girl in my state was just sentenced to 5 years of probation, gps monitoring, placement at a “women’s center” (which is still a correctional facility), 600 hours of community service, and ordered to pay $150,000 to the family of her rapist, who she stabbed to death in self-defense. there is no fucking justice.
her name is Pieper Lewis, she is a survivor of sex trafficking, and this is the full statement she gave at her sentencing hearing today
