MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Milwaukee woman who argued she was legally allowed to kill a man because he was sexually trafficking her has pleaded guilty to homicide. Prosecutors allege Chrystul Kizer shot Randall Volar at his Kenosha home in 2018 when she was 17. She faced multiple charges, including first-degree intentional homicide. Kizer argued that she was immune from prosecution under a state law that absolves sex trafficking victims of any offenses committed as a result of being trafficked. The state Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that she could make that argument at trial. But online court records show she pleaded guilty Thursday to a reduced charge of second-degree reckless homicide. The other charges were dismissed. She’s set to be sentenced in August.
