This photo tells me that Miss Thomas was a w2illing participant. Mainly because, if she really wanted to escape Cummins, all she had to do is turn 180 degrees and run like hell.
I hope they put that son-of-a-b*tch on paid administrative leave. And quick!
I didn’t realize ‘Cummins’ was his last name.
I don’t know about that. These pervs instill fear of death in their victims. Remember Elizabeth Smart?
Of coarse she was, but I will lay odds, she will have relational issues, trust issues, substance abuse issues as time goes on.
Pedophiles groom their victims for many months before making their move. They are manipulators, liars. They play on the young person's emotions, fears, anxieties.
This young lady is in for a lifetime of emotional distress.
This molester was quoted in another article saying he was glad it was over.
Not! It’s just beginning for him. Probably decades in jail.
And if he had sex with her, as many suspect, he will be serving life
in prison.
Glad it’s over? It’s just beginning for this molester.
she was 15...he was married.....a grown man does not take off with a girl who could be his grand daughter, I don’t care how much the girl agreed....
Let’s see if his little sexcapade will be deemed worth his 30 years in prison.
I wonder how they ended up in Cecilville. Definitely off the beaten path.
Searched but didn’t see this posted yet.

She’ll marry the guy while he’s in prison. It’ll be reverse LaTourneau.
He’ll probably get more time for those two guns in CA than he will for any of the other crimes.
There has been some speculation that Cummins had threatened
to hurt her family members if she did not leave with him.
(This is, of course, gossip as speculation is often times.)
He was heavily armed. - Photos often don’t tell us much of
anything. This photo of Cummins and the girl is not likely
photoshopped; however, in this day and age of photoshop,
not everything we see in photos paint an accurate picture.
Why do so many of you guys try to paint Elizabeth Thomas
as a “willing participant”?
How do YOU know that Cummins didn’t have a pistol stuck
in his baggy jeans ready to shoot her if she tried to run?
- Perhaps he had her in fear for her life.
I wonder who will get the rights to the imminent life-time movie.
While I do disapprove of this, I wonder why in this age of acceptance of just about any libertine lifestyle this is meeting with such opprobrium. I also wonder how this story would be treated if this were a same sex couple.
