Karla Homolka is a Canadian woman known for her involvement in a series of heinous crimes in the early 1990s. Along with her then-husband, Paul Bernardo, she was convicted of the sexual assault and murder of several young women, including her sister, Tammy Homolka. The case drew significant media attention and public outrage due to the brutal nature of the crimes. In 1993, Karla Homolka struck a plea deal, which resulted in a 12-year prison sentence. After serving her time, she was released in 2005 and has since lived a relatively private life, although her past continues to evoke strong reactions from the public and media.
