In a press release to Region 8 News, Ellington said, ""I wish the number of rape and sexual assault cases were zero, but until then, my office will not stop prosecuting them to the fullest. I want to thank the Trumann Police Department for their work investigating this case, and my deputy prosecutors Jimmy Gazaway and David Boling for their excellent trial work. If a person chooses to violate the innocence of a child, just like Mr. McCulley, they will pay the consequences"
