Summary

This episode explores the complex and controversial case of Cyntoia Brown, who, at just 16 years old, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Johnny Allen, a man who had solicited her for sex.

We examine the events leading up to the crime, Cyntoia’s troubled background, and the legal arguments that sparked national debate over juvenile justice, sex trafficking, and sentencing reform. After 15 years behind bars and a wave of public outcry, her case was re-evaluated—ultimately changing the course of her life and influencing future legal reform.
