Judge orders Iowa teen trafficking victim to pay $150K in restitution to family of rapist she killed

An Iowa teenage sex trafficking victim who stabbed her rapist to death was sentenced by a judge on Tuesday to five years of closely supervised probation and must pay $150,000 restitution to her abuser's family.

Lewis, who was 15 when she stabbed Brooks in a Des Moines apartment, had run away from home to escape her abusive adoptive mother. She was sleeping in the halls of an apartment building when Christopher Brown, 28, took her in and began trafficking her to other men for sex, according to officials.

Shouldn't her parents have to pay it since she is a minor?

Whomever has pardon or executive clemency power in Iowa should be giving this girl a pardon or the full measure of available clemency.
