Although search warrants in the Hannah Anderson case revealed extensive communication between the 16-year-old and the man who allegedly kidnapped her after killing her mother and brother, San Diego County sheriff's officials maintained Friday that they still considered the teen a victim.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said the department's investigation was ongoing and declined to comment on the specifics of the search warrants released this week.

But she reiterated previous comments from Sheriff Bill Gore, who said Hannah "was not a willing participant."

"As Sheriff Gore said earlier in the week, Hannah is a victim in every sense of the word," Caldwell said in an email. "Our follow-up investigation has not changed that sentence."

1. Of course she was

I don't give a damn about what she said to the man who kidnapped her. I've read enough to know that pedophiles are well-versed in the art of grooming teens for sex, and this guy was obviously very intent on getting his way. So much so that he killed her family and tried to flee from society.

Victim blaming always makes me angry.
