Nov. 6 Pieper Lewis, the teen girl who killed her rapist when she was the victim of sex trafficking, has escaped custody from a women’s center in Iowa.
Lewis, now 18, exited the Fresh Start Women’s Center in Des Moines around 6:19 a.m. Friday after someone opened a door at the facility that set off an alarm, according to a probation violation report obtained by the Des Moines Register. Her escape was confirmed by corrections officials to KCCI.
Officials said in the probation violation report that Lewis had also cut off her GPS tracker and “went on the run” from the facility, and requested a warrant be issued for her arrest.
Lewis, then 15, was living with a 28-year-old man who allegedly listed her on dating websites to have men pay to have sex with her.
