Authorities say a teen sex-trafficking victim convicted of fatally stabbing a man whom she accused of abusing her has absconded from her probation
An Iowa teenage sex-trafficking victim convicted of fatally stabbing a man whom she accused of abusing her has absconded from her probation, authorities said in court records. The Iowa Department of Corrections issued a nationwide warrant for the arrest of Pieper Lewis this month after learning she had been removed from a treatment center in Atlanta and then failed to show up to probation meetings. Lewis, 19, had faced a 20-year prison sentence for the June 2020 fatal stabbing of Zachary Brooks.
After later admitting to violating the terms of her probation, a judge sentenced her again to probation but noted, “You’ve asked for a second chance. You don’t get a third.” Lewis was taken in November 2023 to a residential program in Atlanta that helps victims of sexual exploitation. She was accused of repeatedly violating the center's rules and asked to leave in March, the requested arrest warrant states.
