Pieper Lewis, Iowa teenager who fatally stabbed alleged rapist, avoids prison time
Pieper Lewis, 17, received five years of probation and a deferred judgment,
her record could be expunged before completion of the sentence.
She was ordered to stay at the Fresh Start Women's Center while she is on probation,
“Well, Ms. Lewis, this was the second chance you asked for.
You don’t get a third. Do you understand that?” the judge asked Lewis.
Lewis gave a statement, saying she, too, was a victim.
"I wish that never happened,” Lewis, who was 15 and homeless at the time, said of the June 1, 2020 killing.
“But to say there’s only one victim in the story is absurd.”
