I'm pretty sure they would have been thrown out of an Amish commune even more quickly than they were thrown out of this one.
At this point, I cannot imagine her staying with him, but people do some strange things. Look at all the things he's done:
Lied to her, stole her car, took out a loan and spent it all, kidnapped a 15-year-old girl after grooming her for months, and had an intimate relationship with the 15-year-old. And because of all of the above, brought the media to her doorstep. He'll be spending some time in jail, without a doubt. IMHO, 98% of all women would get a divorce under those circumstances.
:cow:
Yeah, the Feds have mandatory sentencing time. Also don't know if there is a lesser charge he could plead to here. My guess, it won't be offered. IMO
It wasn't an "intimate relationship." It was a crime, and assault. A relationship requires consent, which she cannot give.
I'm not being nit-picky. I just can't believe we are on thread #15, and this is being referred to as a relationship. She is a child, a minor. She was emotionally, mentally, and sexually exploited. Criminal actions were perpetrated against her. She is a victim of TC. She was NOT in a relationship.
Did TC have any children?
Good grief!!!

I think this is sometimes being described as "A relationship" merely to distinguish that there was no violence involved. I don't think anybody thinks it's *right*. Both willing parties, is different than a violent kidnap/rape scenario. JMO Emotional manipulation is distinctly different, than a knife to the throat.
AWESOME! I'm originally from N.O, but currently am residing in B.R!Looziana here, too! ��
The commune was a brilliant hiding location for them. But why TC thought they would fit in there, I have no idea. Maybe he just had no idea what he was getting into.
No, I wasn't confused. If they showed up at the gas station, ran into Barry and asked how to get to the commune "last week" (as Barry stated in my link), then they couldn't have been at the commune for 2 weeks.
Last week (say a Sunday) and this week (say a Saturday) could be 2 weeks. But where's Mercedes to check my math?
OK, I will delete.
My apologies for having offended anyone.
Has anyone figured out why they went to Berkeley, of all places? My guess is that they drove I-80 to the bitter end, and this put them in that part of the country. It will be interesting to hear what, if anything they did there, and where they might have stayed.
Ok, Johunt, it may be two "different" weeks, but it is not two weeks! It would be only 7 days, right? :gaah:
