An Iowa human trafficking victim who stabbed her accused rapist to death and was ordered by a judge to pay $150,000 to the man’s family is receiving support from thousands of GoFundMe donors.⁠ ⁠ A fundraising appeal for Pieper Lewis, the 17-year-old girl who faces five years of closely supervised probation for the killing, had raised over $332,000 from about 8,700 donations as of Thursday morning — more than double the original GoFundMe goal.⁠ ⁠ Leland Schipper, Lewis’ math teacher at Des Moines Lincoln High School, organized the GoFundMe to help with the restitution payment. Iowa law requires those convicted of a felony causing the death of another person to pay $150,000.⁠ ⁠ “A child who was raped, under no circumstances, should owe the rapist’s family money,” Schipper wrote in the GoFundMe appeal. As donations surpassed the amount of the restitution, Schipper added: “I am overjoyed with the prospect of removing this burden from Pieper.”⁠ #PieperLewis https://www.instagram.com/p/CikM-FDuZRe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
