    Requesting to put the murderer and sexual assulter’s name Timothy Hudson in the headline.

    Current post title:

    Florida teenager charged with sexually assaulting and killing stepsister Anna Kepner on cruise ship

    I don’t see why the victim’s name gets publicized while the asshole gets a freepass in their actions.

    In some cases where terrorists want publicity for their actions publicizing their name is actually the wrong decision. Here I believe it is the opposite.

    The public should know who this guy is so that Timothy Hudson can never escape from their consequences. Plus it protects citizens in the off-hand chance this guy escapes or is released from prison.

      It almost certainly has to do with the fact that he is 16, where there are legal limits to what can be disclosed, at least by the police.

        Also says he is charged not convicted which further complicates publishing details I assume.

          Luigi is only charged at this point yet his name is out there. It’s most likely cause of his age that the original article did not say his name.

      Maybe she was named as a legal adult at 18, but yeah, odd they wouldn’t disclose his name if he’s being tried as an adult at 16 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
