Can we all leave Shawn Hornbeck alone?

Finally, someone sticks up for this young man with what prosecutor John Rupp seemed to imply with his statement;

Meanwhile, Wednesday afternoon prosecutors announced Devlin has been charged with two counts of kidnapping, which carry a maximum of 15 years each, and armed criminal action, which carries a minimum of three years. (Watch a law enforcement officer say Shawn Hornbeck was abducted at gunpoint Video)

The latter charge stems from an allegation that Devlin kidnapped Shawn at gunpoint, said Washington County Sheriff Kevin Schroeder.

Addressing reporters Wednesday, prosecutor John Rupp said there is no question that Shawn was kidnapped and was not with Devlin voluntarily.

"Shawn was abducted against his will. Period. End of the story," Rupp said.

So now can everyone leave this poor wounded young man alone and let him heal from the wounds that a very evil Micheal Devlin perpetrated against him? Let's all stop blaming the victim!
