Well, the focus on this fully grown adult predator getting the “help he needs” and not his young child victim is somewhat striking to many of us, I would venture to guess.
As far as this girl going willingly, and yes I am making an assumption about the purpose for the abduction of this one child, here is what ET had to say at the sentencing of her predator, after she went “willingly” (I think it’s an important read for anyone who might be confused as to who the victim is in a case like this):
"When I started school, you picked me out of the crowd. I was just a kid who wanted to make friends, but you were someone who had a plan. You saw a broken girl who was lonely, scared, and traumatized. You made her feel safe and loved because you saw what she needed and made her believe you would be her 'protector.'"
"You act like you care now and that you’re full of all this regret, but where was any of that before? Where was any of that when you first had me alone in your classroom closet and violated me over and over again for months? Where was any of that when you spent untold amounts of time and effort into manipulating, pressuring and deceiving me into thinking that you were the only person that cared about me?"
"All you were was a man who wanted sex, and you manipulated me and used me just for that," she said at the end. "But the truth is, no matter how much time you have to serve, you will never be able to undo what you did to me. I will have to live with the scars you left on me forever."

Thank you, I hadn’t read her testimony (? maybe the wrong term) from his sentencing. Very profound and quite eloquent given the circumstances.
