The 17-year-old child trafficking victim who murdered her rapist and tormentor pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and willful injury for stabbing to death Zachary Brooks, 37, who authorities admitted raped her multiple times in 2020 when she was 15.
Brooks, whom prosecutors acknowledged purchased Pieper from a sex-trafficking ring, repeatedly drugged and beat the young teen.
He also told Pieper that she’s to refrain from getting into any trouble. Otherwise, he’d impose a 20-year prison sentence.In court, Pieper spoke about overcoming her challenging situation. Schipper said Pieper, who had already spent nearly three years in juvenile detention awaiting trial, did not deserve to spend time in an adult prison.
“Pieper only found herself in this situation because she was initially charged as an adult with 1st-degree murder. However, DMPD and the Polk County prosecutor’s office saw Pieper immediately as a grown, violent, adult, murderer, and they charged her as such,” Schipper stated.
