Editor: I am disappointed that you are apologizing for doing accurate and appropriate reporting. Since when is it shameful or degrading to be the victim of a crime? By giving in to this political correctness you have just told this victim that she is somehow responsible for what happened to her and should be ashamed. WRONG!!! She should be proud that she did not let this low-life slimeball violate her.

While it was provided by the police, we regret having published the victim's name this morning. It is generally our policy not to do so and the story has been revised.

Wow, couldn't agree more with Ummmmm. It's outrageous to expose the poor woman in this way. SJ had the decency to withhold her identity.

As if the victim doesn't suffer enough, you publish her name? Yeah, way to go.

Neal: Just shut up! When all the white people are perfect, then speak up. You are a RACISTS!!!

Any info on this guy's immigration status? My money is on illegal.
