The couple drove to California and brought this up because their relationship was so different, she said. The man who picked up the black woman and the black woman's two black boyfriends later told police they had pushed each other off their own property and didn't realize how close one of them was to Leland. Leland denied doing anything harmful to the black woman, the man said, but added:. I think he's very remorseful, I think he really understands how sorry we all are for the way we went about this. For this to go out, you have to stop talking about the person responsible and you have to stop talking about the kids and your little girl, no matter how much we may think it makes us want to kill you. Leland later pleaded guilty to an offence of attempted rape and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. He was sentenced to three years behind bars – but not before he'd been given an order to get the woman's name removed from his report and a $250 fine.
