Chrystul Kizer, a Wisconsin 19-year-old who killed her alleged sexual abuser, was released from jail after several community organizations raised thousands for her bail.
Kizer was released on Monday after spending two years in Kenosha County Jail awaiting trial, reported The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Volar was 33 and Kizer was 17 years old when they reportedly met after Volar responded to an ad Kizer posted on Backpage, a now-defunct website often used by sex workers and traffickers.
Her bail was paid by the Chrystul Kizer Defense Committee, Chicago Community Bond Fund, Survived & Punished and the Milwaukee Freedom Fund.
Sharlyn Grace, Executive Director of the Chicago Community Bond Fund, said Kizer walked free due to “a ton of support” from donors moved by high-profile deaths of Black people.
