Kaiser's plea deal reached 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: in May, spared her from a potential life sentence by 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: allowing her to avoid a full trial. The case has 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: sparked widespread debate, with advocates for sex trafficking victims arguing 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: that Kaiser's actions were a desperate response to years of abuse. 26 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: Kaiser admitted to shooting Vlar twice in the head and 27 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: setting his house on fire after he allegedly raped and 28 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: filmed her and other underage girls.
