    In February 2018, four months before Volar’s death, a 15-year-old called 911 from Volar’s house, saying a man had given her drugs and was going to kill her. Officers found her in the street, drugged and shirtless. She alleged that Volar had been paying her for sex since she was 14. She warned them that he was also filming his abuse of other girls, including one named “Chrystal.”

    Police found “hundreds” of videos of child sexual abuse in Volar’s home, including more than 20 he’d filmed himself. Some of those videos showed Kizer.

    Volar was arrested and charged with child enticement and child sexual assault. But the same day, he was released. He remained free for months, and no criminal charges were officially filed.

    Kenosha prosecutor Michael Graveley said that his office did not know the age of the girls in the videos, and delayed filing charges until they could determine whether they were minors.

    But records obtained by The Post show that investigators described many of the girls being abused in Volar’s videos as appearing to be in their early and mid teens. One, they wrote, could have been as young as 12.

    This story is also about how police and the prosecutor failed to do their job, and now two families are destroyed.

      What the fuck is wrong with that prosecutor? You know whose age he did know? The fucking girl he drugged that they found in the street.

    I thought shooting someone in self-defense was legal?

    This isn’t even a stand your ground situation.

    Oh wait, she’s black? Lethal injection time!

      She’s been charged and plead guilty (which took life with no possibility of parole off the table), but now it’s a question of whether she gets prison time or an alternative for her sentence
