your daily reminder that Cyntoia Brown has to spend the holidays in prison because she defended herself from being raped at age 16. a petition was created that needs about 20k more signatures in order to bring more attention regarding a clemency to the Senator of Tennessee (where she is currently imprisoned). CYNTOIA BROWN NEEDS TO BE FREED. 

a little more about this story for those who aren’t aware. 

-Cyntoia Brown is now a 29 year old woman who is in federal prison for murder. Before the murder occurred, she was forced into human trafficking by an older man named “Cutthroat” at age 16 years old. She was repeatedly raped, beaten, and drugged by dozens of men everyday. 

-Cyntoia has faced sexual abuse throughout her childhood being that she has been in foster homes numerous times. 

-In 2004, She murdered a 43 year old realtor named Johnny Allen who would sexually exploit her. There’s no doubt 16 year old who has been sexually abused multiple times by older men felt threatened at the moment. Regardless of the situation, this is rape. Let me repeat this again for the future idiots who are gonna try to defend this man. What Johnny Allen did to Cyntoia Brown is rape. She was 16, he was 43. 

-In 2012, Cyntoia was sentenced to life in prison. The age she’s eligible for parole? 69 years old. She is now 29. If we don’t raise hell to the government of Tennessee, this woman might not get out until another 40 years. IF she is “eligible” for parole. 

Here is a list of congressional and senate contact information for the State of Tennessee. From contacting congresspeople to Senators, we can bring justice to this woman. 

There’s also a documentary about this case.
