26 year old man arrested and charged after abducting and indecently assaulting a 7 year old girl
Okay this is massive news where I am from. This even made the news in the UK and some countries in Europe.
Summary
-26 year old man abducts a 7 year old girl who was doing Christmas shopping with her mother.
-Takes her into his SUV, drives to a secluded bush, assaults her indecently and then returns her to the shopping centre.
-CCTV footage + help from public allow police to find the man and he gets arrested
-For the first few days or weeks, they did NOT release the name of the man as requested by police and court members
-However, his face and crime and social media was shared all over social media, and now news websites are allowing his identity to be revealed
My question is, why do they hide the criminals identity if they are over 18? I have heard rumours that revealing their identity obstructs court justice, how does this work?
Name of rapist: Sterling Free (he uses Facebook too, but not sure if im allowed to share his page he has the below picture as his display picture)
