Sara Kruzan at age 17 shot and killed her pimp, who had groomed her since age 11 to be a prostitute. The judge took none of that into account, only seeing a violent girl, and locked her away for life according to minimum adult guidelines. This is her life story and it is really good. She is the namesake of H.R.1950 - Sara's Law a bill that would allow juvenile victims of sex trafficking who in turn commit violent crimes against their trafficker to have more lenient sentencing guidelines. The book is eye opening how trafficking happens. I think if trafficking victims started killing their pimps more often, and getting lighter sentences, there might be fewer pimps in this world. So far Sara's Law is on the books in two states, it will be interesting to see how the experiment works out. Sara Kruzan making life incompatible with pimping.

"At once disturbing and empowering, the memoir of a courageous woman, who, between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, was manipulated, exploited, and abused as a sex worker; who killed her pimp/father figure-and was unjustly sentenced to life in prison without parole. "I was 11 when I met GG. I realized later that he had to have been aware of the chaos that was my life... because he played me perfectly. I was walking home after school... I heard his red Mustang purring like a huge lion behind me before it pulled up catty corner and cut off my path. He leaned out of the open window and motioned with his right hand that I should come closer. 'Hey, excuse me.' I popped down to the window and politely, cheerfully and helpfully replied, 'Yes?' He said, 'I've been noticing you a lot, and I just want to talk to you. I'm gonna go get some ice cream and go to the park. I would love for you to come and join me. We won't be gone long. Is that okay with you?' The appeal of ice cream for me was like, 'YES! I want ice cream.' He leaned over and opened the passenger door, 'What's your name? People call me GG.' I shyly answered, 'Sara.'""-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
