icemachine79 a man? A rapist, paedophile and kiddy fiddler - I'm not saying he deserved to die but as a 16 year old girl in the presence of that monster I would be afraid for my life! What would of been his next vision ? A snuff movie? Pls.....jezzz. This girl has seriously gone through so much shit man. Bless her heart. I hope she now has a chance to give back and help so many others that are probably going through the same horrible things she went through....there for the grace of God go we..."🙏🏻
@@icemachine79 He was a sexual assault predator and she was a CHILD prostitute. He knew she was a kid and unfortunately his decision to solicit sex cost him his life.
It's so strange to see her talk after watching this injustice unfold in real time. It's also so humbling and gratifying that she survived and is telling her story.
@Nat Turner’s Revenge Benson was my families slave name..im american, the masters of my great grandparents had the surname Benson, thus, their slaves take on the name Benson..
She is smart and articulate. She is coming from a long way. She is coming from a huge failed broken system that needs to be fixed. How do you recover from that? I pray to God to heal all of her wounds. She is a gift.
Miss higher, Cyntoia is a college graduate. Once she got her head straight while she was in prison, she completed high school and she continued on to college. I read an article about her in the mid-2000s and afterward I watched the documentary (it's on UA-cam). Aside from an interesting story about her, you see God in this too.
Maybe if it didn't happen she might not have been in the position today to raise awareness for the younger generation that might be vunerable and fall victim to sex traffickers?.
Our justice system is so broken. She had to spend 15+ as an adult when she was only 16. She is a victim who was punished. We need to change the system. I am so happy for Cyntoia now and may life bring her even more redemption.
@jack brandt Sure, sure - a well intentioned man would not bring her to HIS home where they stay alone, he would bring her to a church, homeless shelter, HER MIDDLECLASS FAMILY (a secret call, get her, pick her up, and ground her for the next 2 years) - or even child protection services. He obviously thought it would be easy to get sex from her.
jack brandt I think it’s self evident that this was a gross miscarriage of justice. The only way that she was seasoned, was being a kid. The idea that giving a minor life in prison is something that only started in the last half century at most. Anyone that knows anything about sixteen year old girls knows that they are commonly not completely sane in the first place. Should they be allowed to kill without consequences? Of course not, but the consequences should be very limited. I’m sure that if this man was as good as you say he was, he would have been horrified by this injustice.
@@timphillips1218 You're completely ignorant of history and this case. This woman killed an innocent man to rob him. This woman CHOSE to run away from a safe home, to go run with street gangsters, take drugs and do crime. She hooked her wagon to her pimp criminal boyfriend. She murdered an innocent man to rob him. She is not the victim.
Yes horrific such systemic failure and then having to plead for clemency demonstrates the system is not open to questioning and reflection. Little has been learned.
She killed a man whom she thought was grabbing the gun to kill her. If that was true and he did bent to the side, he could have done a million things. She has no concrete proof whatsoever he was taking a gun or trying to kill her. That’s just her assumptions (after the facts). Also, if she did it to defend herself why not call 911 while she was still on the murder scene? I think she got the sentence that she deserved. The victim is the man who couldn’t give his version of the story
Solitary confinement for 2 years just for being a teenager not wanting to help her at the juvenile?? Wtf!!!!! I'm so grateful she is alive..she is healed and most importantly she is free....! So glad she's speaking out ❤️
I guess you've never been to Memphis on the Eastside cut your throat 4 candy bar. You choose your path in life, as she wanted to be a little gangster she wasn't a prostitute or child slavery or trafficked she was a stone cold killer. Get rid of that governor in Tennessee that let her out.
@Truthbetold wow, you're dumb, aren't you? The man threatened her. He showed her his guns. She was fearful of her life and he was soliciting her as a minor.
@Truthbetold if he had no idea how old she was, then he clearly has no concern for the law. He showed her his guns, and as an older man, while she is in his house, she feels threatened. 16 is still a kid. If you want to talk about responsibility, this guy soliciting a 16 year old "unknowingly" for sex and having her in his house while he was sleeping..he makes bad decisions. An abused traumatized CHILD who does not know another life, as she is only 16, is going to be more paranoid and hyper aware of things like someone waving a weapon at her (showing her he has weapons, obviously was sending a message). Why would he show her he has a gun? Just for fun? I don't think so. This girl does not need to be further traumatized, by a man who had all the experience and peace to make the right decisions, and he didn't. If this grown man makes such poor decisions, why on earth are you only targeting a 16 year old for hers?
@Truthbetold she didn't walk out the house because she didn't want him to wake up and possibly shoot her. Adrenaline makes you act instinctually in survival mode, without weighing the consequences. A threat, perceived or real, is immeasurably greater when there is a weapon gratuitously waved around.
I have been following her story for years and so happy to see her free and having a normal life. She is an amazing courageous woman and a living example of hope and never losing faith in God.

SHE IS A COLD BLOODED MURDERER! What the holy fuck is WRONG with you people? JOHN ALLEN is the victim...NOT BROWN! She blasted him in the head AS HE SLEPT so she could “watch him die”!! Those are HER OWN WORDS!! Oh, and not forgetting to ROB HIM.

Cyntoia Most Definitely grew up way too fast and was forced into rough street life at such an early age. Wow! The outcome of her life is a Miracle... This is very inspirational...
I am SO PROUD of this young Woman, that she EDUCATED HERSELF while incarcerated all these years! She SPEAKS with Intelligence and Articulate her Words as if she was Professionally Educated! THANK YOU Cynotia, for MAKING THE BEST of your time spent incarcerated! I will DEFINITELY, BE PURCHASING YOUR BOOK! MAY GOD BLESS, KEEP & PROTECT YOU, IN LONG DESERVED FREEDOM!
I'M SO HAPPY FOR CYNTOIA,THE FIRST TIME I SAW HER DOCUMENTARY, YEARS AGO,I ALWAYS SAID TO MYSELF THAT CHILD DOESN'T DESERVE A LIFE TIME IMPRISONMENT, I DREAMED AND WISH ONE DAY SHE WOULD BE OUT. THANKS RIHANA AND OTHERS. MAY GOD WATCH OVER YOU MY CHILD. I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS,THAT I TOLD MY DAUGHTER SHE MUST WATCH CNYTOIA'S STORY. A BIG KISS TO YOU MY CHILD🎁
@Gerry Berry Well guess what? the cold blooded, sexually abused and exploited child at the time and adult now is free. That man had no business being with a child period there's no way he couldn't tell she was young. Do you really think he was with her just to talk and play with guns? Whatever her reaction was, was built on trauma as well as being around a grown man who's showing guns and in the back of her head knowing she's getting her ass beat later because she was being pimped out. So sad how some people have zero compassion for the actual victim. God bless.
@@johnx4891 So she made it all up...if that's what you feel. Be mad about it...I'm glad she's free and can heal from the trauma she's been through being pimped out as a child and put in situations like this one.
Looks like she capped dude in the back of the head when he was sleeping. He was found with the fingers of his hands interlaced under his head so yeah kind of hard to argue self defence on that one.
Heart wrenching story - with a happy ending, thank God. A frequent drama in a shit country. Some of these judges should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
@@jeffcard1A Thanks for proving the amoral nature of those who support this killer. All you care about is the fact that a black woman got away with executing a white man. You revel in bigotry.
She is a murderer. What is this glorification of her insanity? Do you have a clue what she did or do you see a pretty face and imagine a fairy tale? I would have sympathy (possibly) if she had killed her pimp but she killed some random other guy. She could just have left. She killed him.
She was a teenager who was scared she was about to be shot. How can you be so evil? Not to mention the fact this was a man in his 40s trying to solicite a literal teenage child for sex! And you're defending him?! Gross.
I studied this case closely and I think Cyntoia Brown is very lucky to be released. She murdered an innocent man to rob him, with her pimp boyfriend. Yes she had a tough childhood but she had a stable safe home when she chose to run away and hang out with local gangsters. If she killed her pimp boyfriend I would support her 100% but she murdered an innocent man to rob him. The killing had nothing to do with escaping the sex industry. This is a another example of female privilege, where you can do anything , including murder and get away with it, she still gets to be a victim.
@QTee In the eyes of the law, she is legally responsible for her own sex life. Nobody went to her house to make her have sex. She ran away from home to take drugs and run with gangsters, and she presented herself to the world as a sex worker. None of that justifies murdering another human being to rob him.
She shot a guy in the BACK of his head while he was sleeping and then stole his stuff. What in the world makes you think this shouldn't have gone to trial?
@icemachiambwe Let's reverse the races. Amber Guyger, an adult also shot a man, but this man was innocent in his living room watching TV. She got a hug, a bible, was sentenced 10 years but got out after 5. This shows the brokenness of the American "justice" system
What in the world makes you think such a stupid thing? OF COURSE he would have if the circumstances were the same. She executed a man by putting a bullet in the back of his head while he slept. You can bet he would still be in jail and we wouldn't even know his name if the roles were reversed.
@@MsPhoenix99 You believe that white privilege is so strong that we are actually allowed to murder people and its all good. Why dont you ask the hundreds of thousands of whites in prison how that worked out for them
Sick, sick, sick how any jury and judge can sentence an abused and tortured child for defending herself. Not murder. Self defense. Shame on people who don't recognize human rights and justice.
Lotta you are so right! We have a special needs child who was sexually assaulted by another student at school and the Judge was a complete jerk to us!!! The perpetrator got away with everything even though he had a history of sexually deviant behaviors against others but because his adopted father was a major member of the good ole boy system so he barely got a slap on the wrist!!! The judicial system does not care about the victims!!
@Elyse George Michigan right? I remember that case. Either all minors took a deal and pointed the finger at the one 18 year old among them who I believe is still in prison, hadn't heard anything about the Judge in the case granting leniency with time served. I'll have to look that up
@jack brandt Why because she didn't have Blonde hair and blue eye? Was she a "super-predator, at the tender age of 16? There is no consent at that age. May you never selected for a jury
I remember hearing that many Mexican kids ended up in gangs because of feeling they don't belong, seeking to feel accepted. This sounded to me like a very dumb excuse, until I got to experience what they were talking about. These kids are so young that they don't understand the thread and fall for it; just like this girl, Santoya. Fortunately for me, I am not building my character. I had a very stable childhood. It's a pity many children don't even realize that they are actually pushed into becoming an outcast.
She had a responsible mother that didnt allow her to do drugs so she left her home with her boyfriend who then pimped her out for drug money. This wasnt a case of having to be a prostitute due to circumstance. She quite literally chose that life because she didnt like her mothers rules. It's insane to label her a victim. And she said this in her own words.
Being trafficked doesn't give someone an excuse to execute a man who had nothing to do with her being trafficked. This isn't James Bond and she didn't have a license to kill.
@@icemachine79 if a white woman did it she'd be sitting at home with her beautiful family. I know exactly why she went to prison. She killed for fear of her life and she was actually in danger for years. The only way out of a pimp situation a lot of the time is DEATH. Go to Florida and you can shoot a black person for his/her music being too loud and just say you felt threatened. People like you are the reason we're in this shit show of a country now, no empathy and won't even listen to reason. She was a fucking sex slave, are you really that dense?
Her story is so sad. She was a 16 year old and given life? 2 years of solitary confinement and drugged up? I completely understand how she spoke of her 16 yr old self and her adult self and why she was committed to Cut.
@@Stej-i7m If I had to choose, I'd prefer her in the world than the man! He had a fiance... At the same time, if he had lived, maybe one day he would have repented of his sins...like she has. God will judge!

Maybe the evil person is the one that shot the guy in the back of his head while he slept so she could “watch him die”. Oh and then rob him for good measure.
Amy Goodman, you said more than once that Cyntoia shot her rapist but Cyntoia told you that the man and her only talked that night and there wasn't any sex, so how is that rape?
Mann this story is so sad. Being a child at the time 16. People please protect your young child. Do whatever it takes to protect them and keep them on the right pat. But im happy to see her elevate from such a bad situation and experience. Young women please love yourself.. I always had bad experiences in relationships and everything was just sex and when I met my ex who showed me different (not realizing that it wasnt real and it was a show) and like cyntoia I believed that I was in a relationship with this man and when it came time to gave him money I did and when I was completly broke... i did some unimaginable things to get money to take care of him and whatever was left over to take care of myself and I left my self totally damaged. Now i am realizing that, that was not love. Now im growing from it. Trying to do better. God bless up all
0:18 «...her rapist...»... She wasnt raped. The man didnt even have sex with her after he purchased her services. He made two advances but respected her refusals. Read her testimony. How do you fail to get such a basic fact wrong? He was sleeping when she shot him in the back of his head.
Thank you Cyntoia, you're an inspiring young lady. This was beautiful to watch. It seems like a big missing piece in your young life was having a healthy role model. By nothing more than circumstance you wound up with terrible role models instead. But when you began to discover people like professors and pastors who believed in you, your humanity and your goodness won the day. I'm proud of you and I look up to you. I see how there are huge truths out there in the general population that your cases is representative of, and so thinking about all this is at best, bittersweet.
Just shows how important education is. I know everything happens for a reason and glad she is free, but life for a child who is sex trafficked is just unreal and should never be handed down. There clearly needs to be help for victims so that they don’t get stuck in the cycle of abuse.
It's sad to think that her life is better because of her imprisonment. Who knows where she would be had that killing never taken place. I wish her well.
highmost7 She doesn’t know either that’s why she probably said that her life is better because the trials made her better and stronger. She may not have gone the *right* way before being corrected. Even when man does wrong (whether that statement applies to her, the John, or the courts) God will turn it all around for the good of those that submit to Him.
What is with the interviewer? Continually seeking to get salacious details but never showing compassion as this brave woman continues to maintain her dignity. I have been praying for Cintoyia for several years. Praise God she is a saved woman!
@@cuziMtruth the position of the body when they found him. He was on his side with both arms folded his right arm pinned under his chest and his fingers delicately intertwined near his face. Everyone who examined thatcrime scene came to the same conclusion...Johnny Allen was asleep when he was shot once in the back of the head.
This woman's story is further proof that the justice system should be called the injustice system. Thank God the Governor of Tenn commuted her sentence.
I sympathize with the guest Cyntoia. As a male who didn't see the barriers to speaking out at the earliest onset of the metoo movement, I've come to see often for women there is no one that treats an incident with urgency except you. The way she describes speaking out twice and then facing consequences rather than being helped... That ws my worst nightmare as a child. To be abducted in a crowd of people, and to scream only to go hoarse and have nobody hear my screams. Grateful for her resilience and that she can will herself to keep working on this for other women. Also, anybody find Amy repeatedly mischaracterizes the story? Cyntoia corrected her several times. First about the way she identifies the first man as "her rapist" but in fact it was an act of self defense to someone who appeared threatening. Then about the second guy who Amy said was "sexually abusing her" when in fact he was on the phone and made an inappropriate sexually suggestive comment while she was a minor. Unusual of Any to not have the story down and report it, especially when the guest is there to speak for herself. Not sure why this bothers me. It was almost like she was forcing Brown to further cast herself as a victim when the story is bad enough..
When you become a parent, it’s a commitment 24/7... she was failed & endured the consequences of failed parenting. Too many are born unplanned & the poor baby & the world... everybody is in on it no matter if u think it doesn’t pertain to you .
That is horrible. But it's still not an excuse for executing a man in cold blood with a bullet to the back of the head. What she did was wrong and she deserved to be punished for it. The only question is whether a life sentence was appropriate under the circumstances.
@@icemachine79 Did you see any other interviews? She was in fear for her life as well. You can't expect a pimped out 16 year old to not be in constant fear. It took time, but she's free. There's several stories and if you listen to her, she never changes her story. This girl was a victim. Period. Sorry if that's how you feel.
@@cam-ev1bv She feared for her life... from a sleeping man? That's ridiculous. If she really was afraid then she would've just left. She also wouldn't have robbed the guy and then _gone back to her pimp._ Why can't anyone actually think this stuff all the way through before they hoist her onto their shoulders as if she was some kind of hero? Yes, her life was sad. But that's not a license to kill.
She wasnt even forces into sex trafficking. She chose it becauae her mother wouldnt let her do drugs so she chose to go with her boyfriend, cut throat, than to live bybhwr mothers rules of no drugs.
Such a depressing and yet at the same time somehow a hopeful story. So what has the judicial system learned from this? The systemic failure should result in an inquiry on where things went wrong and how the system can be improved. Given there are likely numerous such cases in the US they should all be brought up for review. A very good episode for Black History Month and a clear message there is a long way to go on equality, human rights and justice. Hard to imagine how deep Cyntoia must have dug to get through this and write her memoirs.
A child tells adults that a grown man is making sexual comments about the child....and the child is ignored and threatened with jail.... Humanity is totally backwards and fucked
@@1NV4S10N no she didn't... Her time was 51 years.. She only served 15 and comes out of jail an instant celebrity, making money off the corpse of her victim.
I’m just glad she still has a life ahead of her and I wish her the best of luck what she went through was unbelievable was about to be given 51 years for defending herself that’s insane God bless her❤️🙏🏾
Wow...the guy she killed did not rape her....she lied about her age and killed dude while he was sleep and stole his money. The sentence was wrong for a child but she really shouldn't be the poster child for sex trafficking.
We need to do better as a society to try and help troubled teenagers rehabilitated BEFORE it's too late.. This poor girl had already been in the court system before she killed the John. Sometimes, a person's life gets swept up in a current that is out of their control. A child by the simple fact that they are a child doesn't even know it. By the time they realize it, they're in a situation they never intended to be. She said her bad attitude started in the 6th grade. The intervention, counseling, advising should've started then. But we as a society are just too quick to hand down punitive charges which just makes these kids easy prey for the predators like Cuthroat to take advantage of them. Because they are not given any other alternative but to continue a life of destruction. We, as a society, are failing our troubled youth. We need to do better. We need to help them BEFORE it gets to this point not after the fact.
jackson k. fozzbodie If u listened to her clemency hearing she did show she was remorseful, BUT I don’t understand how she owes her rapist an apology? If this was a black man having sex with a 16 white girl she would never have seen a courtroom. SMH We need to protect our children, And that is where we owe OUR apology.
this is difficult for me. I worked in juvenile for many years. I have read many case notes just like hers. The news is just getting ratings from her. What makes her different? Many of these girls run away from home and end up with a dude that pimps them out. the mother she was born to was not her fault. she knew right from wrong. what was it that lead her to make the choices that she did? when others chose different. they are able to persevere and move on with their lives. the hurt never goes away but it doesn't dictate the rest of their lives.
She wasn’t being trafficked,said pimp was her boyfriend!she willingly went out that day alone to make money,no pimp around!she slept with the man and shot him in the back after when he slept!robbed his house for guns,money,stole his car and went around spending his money on food and clothes for the boyfriend!this is a sick example of how woman can cry wolf and get away with murder!!!!
I'M SOO HAPPY SHE'S OUT AND WAS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE. i WROTE SOO MANY LETTERS ON HER BEHALF. HOW IS IF FAIR AMBER GUYGER ONLY GOT 10 YEARS FOR A CRIME OF PASSION BUT A JUVENILE WHO WAS ABUSED AND TRAFFICKED FOR SEX CAN GET LIFE?
You know alot of people say that she never should of being in there for so long , but in a way while she was in there an having to abide by the rules ,she would of being doing classes , therapeutic Programmes , getting help she so badly needed . Now if she hadnt of being taken away from what she was doing on the outside she might not be the Woman she is today.
I don't understand why she was charged in the first place a 43 year old man with a 16 year old in his house what the fuck he the adult there should be no charge in that case

I guess you've never been to Memphis on the Eastside cut your throat 4 candy bar. You choose your path in life, as she wanted to be a little gangster she wasn't a prostitute or child slavery or trafficked she was a stone cold killer. Get rid of that governor in Tennessee that let her out.
@Truthbetold wow, you're dumb, aren't you? The man threatened her. He showed her his guns. She was fearful of her life and he was soliciting her as a minor.
@Truthbetold if he had no idea how old she was, then he clearly has no concern for the law. He showed her his guns, and as an older man, while she is in his house, she feels threatened. 16 is still a kid. If you want to talk about responsibility, this guy soliciting a 16 year old "unknowingly" for sex and having her in his house while he was sleeping..he makes bad decisions. An abused traumatized CHILD who does not know another life, as she is only 16, is going to be more paranoid and hyper aware of things like someone waving a weapon at her (showing her he has weapons, obviously was sending a message). Why would he show her he has a gun? Just for fun? I don't think so. This girl does not need to be further traumatized, by a man who had all the experience and peace to make the right decisions, and he didn't. If this grown man makes such poor decisions, why on earth are you only targeting a 16 year old for hers?
@Truthbetold she didn't walk out the house because she didn't want him to wake up and possibly shoot her. Adrenaline makes you act instinctually in survival mode, without weighing the consequences. A threat, perceived or real, is immeasurably greater when there is a weapon gratuitously waved around.
I have been following her story for years and so happy to see her free and having a normal life. She is an amazing courageous woman and a living example of hope and never losing faith in God.
The same gawd that watched her get raped and ignored her pleas? The same gawd that is currently watching men rape children yet also ignores their pleas and prayers? Are rape victims prayers not worthy of your god? Why just watch?
If murdering someone, gives you "faith in god", something is wrong! she should still be locked up
@@doglover-zo2us Rape victims are not allowed to defend themselves? Why are you so dark?
@ She went willingly to his house,... She was NOT in the act in self-defense, when she shot him, He was likely asleep, and He was not a rapist..
SHE IS A COLD BLOODED MURDERER!
What the holy fuck is WRONG with you people?
JOHN ALLEN is the victim...NOT BROWN!
She blasted him in the head AS HE SLEPT so she could “watch him die”!! Those are HER OWN WORDS!!
Oh, and not forgetting to ROB HIM.
Rick Snyder and many other murderers that are rich and powerful, never go to prison 🤢Unacceptable. American Justice 🤢Makes me sick.
The American justice system isnt perfect, but its a million times better than anything in the non-western world. Women still dont have basic rights in most of the non-western world. This woman MURDERED an innocent man and she walks free.....and you think the system sucks? Ignorance
@@tubester4567 really? Which non-western world? Sop living in your American bubble because most countries in the world treat their citizens like humans. This lady would have had at least a fair trial in 70% of countries in the world. America treats its citizens as cash machines
Cyntoia Most Definitely grew up way too fast and was forced into rough street life at such an early age. Wow! The outcome of her life is a Miracle... This is very inspirational...
Beautiful lady - so very bright. She certainly worked hard to fight her fight.
I'm glad she's out of prison. Let's keep an eye out for what she makes of her life. Good luck to her.

I am SO PROUD of this young Woman, that she EDUCATED HERSELF while incarcerated all these years! She SPEAKS with Intelligence and Articulate her Words as if she was Professionally Educated! THANK YOU Cynotia, for MAKING THE BEST of your time spent incarcerated! I will DEFINITELY, BE PURCHASING YOUR BOOK! MAY GOD BLESS, KEEP & PROTECT YOU, IN LONG DESERVED FREEDOM!
she deserves lethal injection
Her saying "confession room" instead of interrogation room speaks volumes to me.
Yes, volumes and volumes of bullshit.
@M he wasn't sleeping. he brought a 'teenager prostitute'
home to rape her (that's what a man in his forties does, rapes a 16 years old...)
anacionqtfixo facts!
@M so he picked up a 16 years old girl to not have sex with her of course but to make him breakfast in the morning tho. She was 16!!!!
@M that's what the PROSECUTION said. Get it right.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR CYNTOIA,THE FIRST TIME I SAW HER DOCUMENTARY, YEARS AGO,I ALWAYS SAID TO MYSELF THAT CHILD DOESN'T DESERVE A LIFE TIME IMPRISONMENT, I DREAMED AND WISH ONE DAY SHE WOULD BE OUT. THANKS RIHANA AND OTHERS. MAY GOD WATCH OVER YOU MY CHILD. I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS,THAT I TOLD MY DAUGHTER SHE MUST WATCH CNYTOIA'S STORY. A BIG KISS TO YOU MY CHILD🎁
If he would've harmed her. He would've gotten away with it 🤦🏽♀️🤨
SHE SHOULD'VE SAID MY NAME IS AMBER GUYGER. SHE WOULD'VE GOTTEN 10 YEARS(OUT IN UNDER 5)WOULD'VE GOTTEN A HUG, GOTTEN A BIBLE, GOTTEN HER HAIR PETTED.
He was showing off his guns trying to intimidate her.
Shot in the head while he slept....
Where's your proof of that? Oh right, you don't have any. She shot him in the back of the head as he slept. She is NOT the victim.
@Gerry Berry Well guess what? the cold blooded, sexually abused and exploited child at the time and adult now is free. That man had no business being with a child period there's no way he couldn't tell she was young. Do you really think he was with her just to talk and play with guns? Whatever her reaction was, was built on trauma as well as being around a grown man who's showing guns and in the back of her head knowing she's getting her ass beat later because she was being pimped out. So sad how some people have zero compassion for the actual victim. God bless.
@@mikemaloney1289 Spending time with an underage girl... he didn't want her for just a conversation.
@@johnx4891 So she made it all up...if that's what you feel. Be mad about it...I'm glad she's free and can heal from the trauma she's been through being pimped out as a child and put in situations like this one.
This is one of the saddest stories I ever heard with a happy ending. I wish her well in her marriage & hope she works hard to help other victis.
Who goes to prison for protecting themselves 🤔 BLACK WOMEN... Bull crap, this system lacks all common sense and decency 😒
She is not black, she is BIRACIAL
TREU 🤔LETS think🤔
Looks like she capped dude in the back of the head when he was sleeping. He was found with the fingers of his hands interlaced under his head so yeah kind of hard to argue self defence on that one.
Heart wrenching story - with a happy ending, thank God. A frequent drama in a shit country. Some of these judges should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
@jack brandt You are stone cold stupid.
@@jeffcard1A DITTO
@@jeffcard1A Thanks for proving the amoral nature of those who support this killer. All you care about is the fact that a black woman got away with executing a white man. You revel in bigotry.
I am so glad she is finally free and that she has written a book about her experience. I hope it brings change.
She is a murderer. What is this glorification of her insanity? Do you have a clue what she did or do you see a pretty face and imagine a fairy tale? I would have sympathy (possibly) if she had killed her pimp but she killed some random other guy. She could just have left. She killed him.
She was a teenager who was scared she was about to be shot. How can you be so evil? Not to mention the fact this was a man in his 40s trying to solicite a literal teenage child for sex! And you're defending him?! Gross.
I studied this case closely and I think Cyntoia Brown is very lucky to be released. She murdered an innocent man to rob him, with her pimp boyfriend. Yes she had a tough childhood but she had a stable safe home when she chose to run away and hang out with local gangsters.
If she killed her pimp boyfriend I would support her 100% but she murdered an innocent man to rob him. The killing had nothing to do with escaping the sex industry.
This is a another example of female privilege, where you can do anything , including murder and get away with it, she still gets to be a victim.
Your right
@QTee In the eyes of the law, she is legally responsible for her own sex life. Nobody went to her house to make her have sex. She ran away from home to take drugs and run with gangsters, and she presented herself to the world as a sex worker.
None of that justifies murdering another human being to rob him.
She should have never went to trial. Southern "justice' is so callous.
She shot a guy in the BACK of his head while he was sleeping and then stole his stuff. What in the world makes you think this shouldn't have gone to trial?
@icemachiambwe Let's reverse the races. Amber Guyger, an adult also shot a man, but this man was innocent in his living room watching TV. She got a hug, a bible, was sentenced 10 years but got out after 5. This shows the brokenness of the American "justice" system
Funny thing is...Had he killed her would he'd been giving life???? NOPE!
What in the world makes you think such a stupid thing? OF COURSE he would have if the circumstances were the same. She executed a man by putting a bullet in the back of his head while he slept. You can bet he would still be in jail and we wouldn't even know his name if the roles were reversed.
Most definitely he would.
Such a stupid fucking view point. If a grown man shot a 16 year old girl in the back of the head he would absolutely be doing life dumbass
You want to believe that so bad-but where is the data that proves “Johns are convicted for harming prostitutes.”
@@MsPhoenix99 You believe that white privilege is so strong that we are actually allowed to murder people and its all good. Why dont you ask the hundreds of thousands of whites in prison how that worked out for them
I’m so happy she is out of prison. I never say people who murder should be released but she is the only person who deserves to be out in my opinion.
Sick, sick, sick how any jury and judge can sentence an abused and tortured child for defending herself. Not murder. Self defense. Shame on people who don't recognize human rights and justice.
Lotta you are so right! We have a special needs child who was sexually assaulted by another student at school and the Judge was a complete jerk to us!!! The perpetrator got away with everything even though he had a history of sexually deviant behaviors against others but because his adopted father was a major member of the good ole boy system so he barely got a slap on the wrist!!! The judicial system does not care about the victims!!
My God I remember following this story 8 years ago look at this beautiful, educated, heroic Woman. She does not look like her struggle.
She murdered a man while he was sleeping. That's insane.
giving a 16 year old life...
Clownish-Gambino ...for defending themselves against a rapist...
awful sentencing policy
@Elyse George Michigan right? I remember that case. Either all minors took a deal and pointed the finger at the one 18 year old among them who I believe is still in prison, hadn't heard anything about the Judge in the case granting leniency with time served. I'll have to look that up
@jack brandt fool. Such B.S.
@jack brandt Why because she didn't have Blonde hair and blue eye? Was she a "super-predator, at the tender age of 16? There is no consent at that age. May you never selected for a jury
I remember hearing that many Mexican kids ended up in gangs because of feeling they don't belong, seeking to feel accepted.
This sounded to me like a very dumb excuse, until I got to experience what they were talking about.
These kids are so young that they don't understand the thread and fall for it; just like this girl, Santoya.
Fortunately for me, I am not building my character. I had a very stable childhood. It's a pity many children don't even realize that they are actually pushed into becoming an outcast.
The dude’s name is cut throat. Right there, red flag! Women: you’ve got to engage the mind more.
She had a responsible mother that didnt allow her to do drugs so she left her home with her boyfriend who then pimped her out for drug money. This wasnt a case of having to be a prostitute due to circumstance. She quite literally chose that life because she didnt like her mothers rules. It's insane to label her a victim. And she said this in her own words.
She should have never gone to prison in the first place. The girl was being trafficked and they take away her freedom after that?
Lol you obviously don't know why she went to prison.
Being trafficked doesn't give someone an excuse to execute a man who had nothing to do with her being trafficked. This isn't James Bond and she didn't have a license to kill.
@@icemachine79 if a white woman did it she'd be sitting at home with her beautiful family. I know exactly why she went to prison. She killed for fear of her life and she was actually in danger for years. The only way out of a pimp situation a lot of the time is DEATH. Go to Florida and you can shoot a black person for his/her music being too loud and just say you felt threatened. People like you are the reason we're in this shit show of a country now, no empathy and won't even listen to reason. She was a fucking sex slave, are you really that dense?
@@trumpetman The guy was asleep and he wasn't her.pimp. They hadn't even had sex. You are delusional.
Her story is so sad. She was a 16 year old and given life? 2 years of solitary confinement and drugged up?
I completely understand how she spoke of her 16 yr old self and her adult self and why she was committed to Cut.
Love and protection is a human need. It's not a want. It's not option al! By any means necessary...

I’m sure the prosecutor is very proud of being able to give a young victim life in prison. That’s an evil person.
I think the murderer on the screen is the evil person.
Maybe the evil person is the one that shot the guy in the back of his head while he slept so she could “watch him die”. Oh and then rob him for good measure.

He had intent to sleep with her. Even if she was willing she was 16. Legally that's rape.
The Black woman in America....the most abused and mistreated. Thank God for this story of redemption.
@Ali_Star exactly... she is biracial. If this woman was a black lady- she would still be in jail serving life.
She should still be in prison regardless of her colour.

What an amazing and strong human being. Thanks for interviewing her Amy. Her words of hope will stay with me.
Mann this story is so sad. Being a child at the time 16. People please protect your young child. Do whatever it takes to protect them and keep them on the right pat. But im happy to see her elevate from such a bad situation and experience. Young women please love yourself.. I always had bad experiences in relationships and everything was just sex and when I met my ex who showed me different (not realizing that it wasnt real and it was a show) and like cyntoia I believed that I was in a relationship with this man and when it came time to gave him money I did and when I was completly broke... i did some unimaginable things to get money to take care of him and whatever was left over to take care of myself and I left my self totally damaged. Now i am realizing that, that was not love. Now im growing from it. Trying to do better. God bless up all
The sex traffickers and johns are the criminals, not the victims. Our society needs to get this right.
0:18 «...her rapist...»... She wasnt raped. The man didnt even have sex with her after he purchased her services. He made two advances but respected her refusals. Read her testimony. How do you fail to get such a basic fact wrong? He was sleeping when she shot him in the back of his head.
Thank you Cyntoia, you're an inspiring young lady. This was beautiful to watch. It seems like a big missing piece in your young life was having a healthy role model. By nothing more than circumstance you wound up with terrible role models instead. But when you began to discover people like professors and pastors who believed in you, your humanity and your goodness won the day. I'm proud of you and I look up to you. I see how there are huge truths out there in the general population that your cases is representative of, and so thinking about all this is at best, bittersweet.
One of the toughest parts i know she had to face was realizing her pimp didn’t give a damn about her !
@M choosing whether or not to solicit a sex trafficked child. Didn't seem like he thought very hard about that one though!
17 is hardly a child...
Hope her marriage works out.
.
Just shows how important education is. I know everything happens for a reason and glad she is free, but life for a child who is sex trafficked is just unreal and should never be handed down. There clearly needs to be help for victims so that they don’t get stuck in the cycle of abuse.
It's sad to think that her life is better because of her imprisonment. Who knows where she would be had that killing never taken place. I wish her well.
highmost7 She doesn’t know either that’s why she probably said that her life is better because the trials made her better and stronger. She may not have gone the *right* way before being corrected. Even when man does wrong (whether that statement applies to her, the John, or the courts) God will turn it all around for the good of those that submit to Him.
@jack brandt - Please post some citations for your "information".
Keep your head up my girl,let the justice system see what a beautiful woman you have become, thank you lord
What is with the interviewer? Continually seeking to get salacious details but never showing compassion as this brave woman continues to maintain her dignity. I have been praying for Cintoyia for several years. Praise God she is a saved woman!
this system is butt. what happened to cut throat? always just throwing our children away. so glad she survived this cut throat system. justice. smdh.
Her story is sad but still had no right killing a sleeping man..which is why she was convicted..should have called cops instead

@@cuziMtruth the position of the body when they found him. He was on his side with both arms folded his right arm pinned under his chest and his fingers delicately intertwined near his face. Everyone who examined thatcrime scene came to the same conclusion...Johnny Allen was asleep when he was shot once in the back of the head.
So sad but such a powerful and unbelievable story.
Unbelievable, how so?
This woman's story is further proof that the justice system should be called the injustice system. Thank God the Governor of Tenn commuted her sentence.
She got married. I hope they really take good care her and have a beautiful family.
I sympathize with the guest Cyntoia. As a male who didn't see the barriers to speaking out at the earliest onset of the metoo movement, I've come to see often for women there is no one that treats an incident with urgency except you.
The way she describes speaking out twice and then facing consequences rather than being helped... That ws my worst nightmare as a child. To be abducted in a crowd of people, and to scream only to go hoarse and have nobody hear my screams. Grateful for her resilience and that she can will herself to keep working on this for other women.
Also, anybody find Amy repeatedly mischaracterizes the story? Cyntoia corrected her several times. First about the way she identifies the first man as "her rapist" but in fact it was an act of self defense to someone who appeared threatening. Then about the second guy who Amy said was "sexually abusing her" when in fact he was on the phone and made an inappropriate sexually suggestive comment while she was a minor. Unusual of Any to not have the story down and report it, especially when the guest is there to speak for herself. Not sure why this bothers me. It was almost like she was forcing Brown to further cast herself as a victim when the story is bad enough..
Amy should be embarrassed
As a man you disgust me .
The interviewer has no common sense.
What a great story of hope. Hope that a mysoginistic world and/or males who think they can use women as pawns, can be brought to justice
I can't stand so much cruelty onto a child.
When you become a parent, it’s a commitment 24/7... she was failed & endured the consequences of failed parenting. Too many are born unplanned & the poor baby & the world... everybody is in on it no matter if u think it doesn’t pertain to you .
I wish Cyntoia nothing but the best!!
God bless you girl!! So beautiful, well spoken, and humble. Life at 16 after being forced into sex trafficking.
That is horrible. But it's still not an excuse for executing a man in cold blood with a bullet to the back of the head. What she did was wrong and she deserved to be punished for it. The only question is whether a life sentence was appropriate under the circumstances.
@@icemachine79 Did you see any other interviews? She was in fear for her life as well. You can't expect a pimped out 16 year old to not be in constant fear.
It took time, but she's free. There's several stories and if you listen to her, she never changes her story. This girl was a victim. Period. Sorry if that's how you feel.
@@cam-ev1bv She feared for her life... from a sleeping man? That's ridiculous. If she really was afraid then she would've just left. She also wouldn't have robbed the guy and then _gone back to her pimp._ Why can't anyone actually think this stuff all the way through before they hoist her onto their shoulders as if she was some kind of hero? Yes, her life was sad. But that's not a license to kill.
She wasnt even forces into sex trafficking. She chose it becauae her mother wouldnt let her do drugs so she chose to go with her boyfriend, cut throat, than to live bybhwr mothers rules of no drugs.
@Cyntoia Brown-Long - The best of luck to you, young lady. You deserve only GOOD luck for the rest of your life. 🤗🤗👏👏👍🖖😎

You should invite her over. Just don't go to sleep around her, especially if you have any guns in the house.
Such a depressing and yet at the same time somehow a hopeful story. So what has the judicial system learned from this? The systemic failure should result in an inquiry on where things went wrong and how the system can be improved. Given there are likely numerous such cases in the US they should all be brought up for review. A very good episode for Black History Month and a clear message there is a long way to go on equality, human rights and justice. Hard to imagine how deep Cyntoia must have dug to get through this and write her memoirs.
I'm just wondering did the interviewer doing this interview do her research because it seems like she's had to correct the facts to her twice
A child tells adults that a grown man is making sexual comments about the child....and the child is ignored and threatened with jail.... Humanity is totally backwards and fucked
Have you seen her interview from when she was at the age of 18? She came a LONG way
Why should a teenager know so much about the legal system just terrible!!
I still can't believe She's out of prison . It felt like she wouldn't have been released in my lifetime😔😔😔

"Shooting her rapist"? but according to her there was no sex of any kind! so right off the bat you have disseminated misinformation.
Heart goes out . I’m glad you got your life back .
I’m just glad she still has a life ahead of her and I wish her the best of luck what she went through was unbelievable was about to be given 51 years for defending herself that’s insane God bless her❤️🙏🏾
Praise the Lord! May the Most High bless her life and continue to grant her courage .
We need to abolish private prisons. All of them. Federal and state. Incarceration should be a burden of the State.
Wow...the guy she killed did not rape her....she lied about her age and killed dude while he was sleep and stole his money. The sentence was wrong for a child but she really shouldn't be the poster child for sex trafficking.
Absolute madness to put her in adult jail
crazy how many people commenting and apparently videos like these don't even look into the details of the police report, case, trial etc
We need to do better as a society to try and help troubled teenagers rehabilitated BEFORE it's too late.. This poor girl had already been in the court system before she killed the John. Sometimes, a person's life gets swept up in a current that is out of their control. A child by the simple fact that they are a child doesn't even know it. By the time they realize it, they're in a situation they never intended to be. She said her bad attitude started in the 6th grade. The intervention, counseling, advising should've started then. But we as a society are just too quick to hand down punitive charges which just makes these kids easy prey for the predators like Cuthroat to take advantage of them. Because they are not given any other alternative but to continue a life of destruction. We, as a society, are failing our troubled youth. We need to do better. We need to help them BEFORE it gets to this point not after the fact.
I see no remorse on her part. She shot an innocent man in cold blood for his wallet. She never took responsibility.
jackson k. fozzbodie If u listened to her clemency hearing she did show she was remorseful, BUT I don’t understand how she owes her rapist an apology? If this was a black man having sex with a 16 white girl she would never have seen a courtroom. SMH We need to protect our children, And that is where we owe OUR apology.
A really emotional interview.
👁Prosecutors are slime and one is running fo president👁
this is difficult for me. I worked in juvenile for many years. I have read many case notes just like hers. The news is just getting ratings from her. What makes her different? Many of these girls run away from home and end up with a dude that pimps them out. the mother she was born to was not her fault. she knew right from wrong. what was it that lead her to make the choices that she did? when others chose different. they are able to persevere and move on with their lives. the hurt never goes away but it doesn't dictate the rest of their lives.
Either way.. She explains the patriarchy failure s ...
Think of how many girls been abused my pimps as teens but doesn’t get help
So, murdering an innocent man who never abused her is okay?
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse,
She wasn’t being trafficked,said pimp was her boyfriend!she willingly went out that day alone to make money,no pimp around!she slept with the man and shot him in the back after when he slept!robbed his house for guns,money,stole his car and went around spending his money on food and clothes for the boyfriend!this is a sick example of how woman can cry wolf and get away with murder!!!!
Wonderful young woman!
I'M SOO HAPPY SHE'S OUT AND WAS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE. i WROTE SOO MANY LETTERS ON HER BEHALF. HOW IS IF FAIR AMBER GUYGER ONLY GOT 10 YEARS FOR A CRIME OF PASSION BUT A JUVENILE WHO WAS ABUSED AND TRAFFICKED FOR SEX CAN GET LIFE?
You know alot of people say that she never should of being in there for so long , but in a way while she was in there an having to abide by the rules ,she would of being doing classes , therapeutic Programmes , getting help she so badly needed . Now if she hadnt of being taken away from what she was doing on the outside she might not be the Woman she is today.
So Happy for her it's very sad what happen to her.
I don't understand why she was charged in the first place a 43 year old man with a 16 year old in his house what the fuck he the adult there should be no charge in that case
