An Iowa judge ruled that a girl who was 15 when she killed a man she said raped her multiple times must pay his family $150,000 in restitution.
Pieper Lewis, who killed her alleged rapist in 2020, received a deferred judgment from Polk County District Judge David Porter after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and willful injury.
Lewis said in the plea agreement that she ran away from home several times and ended up sleeping in the hallway of an apartment complex. On May 31, the man with whom Lewis lived with confronted her with a knife after she refused his order to go to Brooks' apartment to have sex with Brooks in exchange for marijuana, she wrote. Eventually she agreed to go after he cut her neck, she said in the plea.She was forced to drink vodka shots and fell asleep, she wrote in her plea agreement. At one point in the night she woke up and Brooks was raping her, she said. Brooks fell asleep and Lewis went to find her clothes.
Explaining his decision to order community service Judge Porter said: "The purpose of that, Ms. Lewis, is that you have a story to tell ... you should be willing and able to tell that story to other young and vulnerable women in our community. And therefore, you are going to give back ... by the way of community service hours."A former teacher of Lewis' is raising money to pay the restitution and for future educational expenses.said she was concerned about Tuesday's ruling.
