Brown is now 28, and this week celebrities have taken up the Tennessee case under the hashtag #FreeCyntoiaBrown. Kim Kardashian also tweeted about the case Tuesday, writing “I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this.”“The system has failed,” Kardashian wrote. “It’s heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life!
