Many stars are outraged on social networks about the fate of Cyntoia Brown. In 2004, the 16-year-old girl killed the 43-year-old man who had bought her into a sex slave and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The girl has since been behind bars, as recalled by The Cut , and will only be able to apply for parole for the first time in 51 years. At trial, the judge had considered that if she had killed Johnny Allen, it was to steal him.
