Disturbing Details Emerge After Kansas Woman Is Sentences to 20 Years For Leading All Female ISIS Group In Syria Including Torturing Her Own Children With Chemicals To Get Sexual Pleasure

The Kansas woman who admitted she discussed an attack on an American college and trained over 100 fighters in an all-female ISIS battalion in Syria, 42-year-old Allison Fluke-Ekren, was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison and 25 years of supervised release.

Addressing court in Alexandria, Va., she said she "regrets her choices." Fluke-Ekren, described in court documents as a mother and teacher-turned-ISIS battalion leader, pleaded guilty earlier this year to providing material support to the terrorist network.

Prosecutors described her admitted actions as "monstrous," writing in a pre-sentence filing that Fluke-Ekren "brainwashed young girls and trained them to kill" after leaving her own family to "pursue a career in terrorism" in Libya.

The government's filing laid out a life full of torture and violence, which they said she inflicted on her younger brother, her children and her husbands, behavior that she allegedly took from her home to battlefields in foreign countries after she became radicalized.

Fluke-Ekren's daughter, Leyla Ekren, addressed the court on Tuesday and shared disturbing details about the sexual and emotional abuse she faced in her early teenage years when she lived with her mother in Syria.

In one instance, Ekren said her mother had used a chemical substance to torture her and her siblings, harming their skin. She also told the court that her mother derived sexual pleasure from beating her.

Ekren also divulged that when she was 13 years old, her mother married her off to an ISIS fighter.

"She abandoned me ... to my rapist," Ekren told the court, referring to her husband as a "rapist" because she had been forced by her mother to marry him against her will.
