I am the x wife of David. You don’t have all of the information. He got what he desrved. Trust me
Yeah we all make plenty of mistakes for sure! But this is destroying innocent children’s lives! They will never be the same mentally and causes all kinds of mental health problems! It is sick for any person to do that to a human being! I am not referring to this guy of doing this to kids but this is certainly how it could start! Red flag for sure is child porn!
I agree with Concern Citizens. Cummings’ offenses are serious, but that was too harsh of a sentence.
It doesn’t matter if we have all the facts. I remember when the new DA went into office she said she wouldn’t take cases against children, or domestic violence and drug offenses lightly. Well the man that received probation received a very light sentence. He also have the ability to do the same thing again because he’s out on probation. Mybe alot of people don’t take these matters seriously until it happens to one of their children or a family member. He guy that received the 20 years I think should of received probation,and received the help that he needed to overcome his situation
Again, stop taking gossip as fact, no matter who you hear it from ladies! There was no physical abuse. Physical abuse means that the victims body was touched by the abuser, this was not the case!! This case barely met the indecency statutes. The shameful exaggeration thru the continous petty gossip that permeates the cocktail parties, gym classes, etc. only continues to hurt the child and family. Put your energy into more constructive endeavours and do the world some good.
I agree 100% with Call Me Confused
So here we have a case leading this report where a man gets 20 years in prison because he has child pornography in his possession. Child porn is a terrible thing and I am glad to see this being dealt with. However, we recently saw a case where a man actually physically abused a child in a sexual way and he was given probation by our prosecutors and courts. Is this really justice? I have to think not. DIrty pics gets = 20 years, actual child sexual abuse = probation. Folks, our courts and prosecutors have it all wrong. Very disappointing!
It appears he was promoting child porn not just possessing it. That makes a big difference.
There is really something wrong. Because a man a few weeks ago received 30 years for sexual assault of a child. Then last week a man gets probation for the same charge which happen at the same facility. Then this guy gets 20 years for having child porn which I agree is wrong but it’s not making since.
Maybe it doesn’t make sense because you don’t have important information pertaining to some of these cases. Information that police officers, prosecutors, judges, probation officers, family members, victims, doctors and the attorneys representing these people do possess.
I seriously doubt that all of the relevant information involved in any of these matters is, or can be, presented here. Reading the dust jacket of a book is not the same as reading the book. Seeing a trailer for a movie doesn’t equate to seeing the movie. Rumor and gossip isn’t knowledge, and opinions are not facts. Opinions and conclusions formed without facts and information have little value and can lead to confusion. Hopefully our courts and judicial system will always strive to address each case and each person individually.
