A US teenager who stabbed her alleged rapist to death has been sentenced by an Iowa court to five years\u2019 probation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pieper Lewis, 17, was also ordered to pay $150,000 (\u00a3130,000) to Zachary Brooks\u2019 family over his murder in 2020 in Des Moines. She was 15 at the time.<\/p>\n

Last year, she pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and wilful injury. Both charges are punishable by up to 10 years in jail.<\/p>\n

She could be jailed for 20 years if she violates her probation terms.<\/p>\n

Lewis was sentenced on Tuesday by Polk County District judge David M Porter.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of her probation, the judge ordered her to be placed in a residential facility, where she must wear a tracking device.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next five years of your life will be full of rules you disagree with, I\u2019m sure of it,\u201d Mr Porter said. \u201cThis is the second chance that you\u2019ve asked for. You don\u2019t get a third.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he alluded to the controversial nature of Lewis being forced to make payments to Mr Brooks\u2019 family, he noted that \u201cthis court is presented with no other option\u201d under Iowa law.<\/p>\n

A 1997 law requires people convicted of homicide to pay $150,000.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe launched by one of Lewis\u2019 former teachers had surpassed $300,000 by Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy spirit has been burned, but still glows through the flames. Hear me roar, see me glow, and watch me grow,\u201d Lewis read on Tuesday from a statement she had prepared, the Associated Press news agency reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a survivor,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Lewis was sleeping in a hallway after fleeing an abusive home when a man took her in and trafficked her to others for sex.<\/p>\n

She told the court one of them was Brooks, 37, and that he had raped her many times.<\/p>\n

The teenager stabbed him more than 30 times in June 2020 in a flat in Des Moines, the capital of the Iowa state in the Midwestern region, when she was aged just 15.<\/p>\n

While Lewis accepted she had committed a crime, she defended her actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took a person\u2019s life,\u201d she said. \u201cMy intentions that day were not to just go out and take somebody\u2019s life. In my mind I felt that I wasn\u2019t safe and I felt that I was in danger, which resulted in the acts. But it doesn\u2019t take away from the fact that a crime was committed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police and prosecutors have not disputed that Lewis was sexually assaulted and trafficked. But the prosecution had argued that Brooks was asleep at the time, and therefore not an immediate threat.<\/p>\n

Dozens of US states have adopted so-called \u201csafe-harbour\u201d laws that offer victims of trafficking some level of immunity, but a bill passed by the Iowa House of Representatives has stalled in the state Senate after law enforcement groups raised concerns.<\/p>\n
