Cyntonia Brown, the 29-year-old sex trafficking victim who was sentenced to life in prison for killing the man who bought her as a sex slave at 16, might soon be receiving aid from none other than Kim Kardashian West. The reality star and budding cosmetics titan has been vocal about her outrage for Brown's continued sentence, and this week tweeted that she had asked her legal team to get involved.
Brown's imprisonment -- which is in the spotlight again thanks to a Fox 17 news segment and the ensuing interest from celebrities like Rihanna and Snoop Dogg -- is a total failure of the justice system, and the media's current attention to sexual violence could mean that this young woman is finally given the justice she deserves.
