Cyntoia Brown has been released from prison after 15 years.
Cyntoia Brown, Alleged Sex-Trafficking Victim Who Kim Kardashian Lobbied to Be Released, Freed After 15 YearsA woman who said she was a sex-trafficking victim at the age of 16 when she killed a man in 2004 was released from Tennessee Prison for Women early Wednesday - seven months after being granted clemency. Cyntoia Brown was released on parole, according to the Tennessee Department of Corrections .
Her attorneys said she's requesting privacy and transition time before she makes herself available to the public. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against life-without-parole sentences for juveniles. But the state of Tennessee argued successfully in lower courts that Brown's sentence was not in violation of federal law because she would be eligible for parole after serving at least 51 years.
Brown met with prison counselors to design a plan for her release, which will include time in a transition center and continuing coursework with the Lipscomb University program, the state Department of Correction said in a news release.
