Something we should clarify: The minor was charged with several counts of a class 2 felony for the creation and distribution of child pornography when it was discovered that she was dessiminating nude photos of herself to multiple parties within said chatroom. 1/2

However, Sisk was tried in court before the minor was, and the prosecution (the minor's attorney) used this case as an opportunity to pin all blame on Sisk. By the end, the court was made to believe that the minor had been coerced and charges against the minor were dropped. 2/2

Despite the fact that no evidence to prove coercion existed and everything was based on hearsay meant to play in to the emotionally driven bias of the court.

As far as the court was concerned, evidence of said coercion came in the form of Sisks guilty plea. That said, the prosecution put a lot of pressure on Sisk to make the plea, with threats of life prison sentences. The plea bargain was made to look compassionate by comparison.

Given the history of AZ DoJ to side with the prosecution in sex offense cases, even Sisk's attorney urged her to take the plea bargain despite being innocent. Unfortunately, the judge decided to add restrictions to the bargain after it was decided. Such included Internet ban.

Sisk was treated as guilty from the very moment she was accused. She was given no chance to defend herself and the Judge was already calling her a predator during court proceedings. As a transgender woman pre-transition, she was ubjected to penile exams and sexual probing all >

> of which came back as negatives, “no threat” and “lowest possible risk”, and she tried to argue that she had no way of knowing the minors age, but all of it was ignored by the court. Even her public defender ignored her largely.

So when the prosecution told her “take lifetime probation on a guilty plea or well send you to prison for 30 years”, she didn’t know what else to do to reduce her sentence and she plead.
