Several people have posted the first name of the person charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching. The comments that mention the name of the accused have been redacted, by replacing the name with asterisks.
WFP will continue to monitor the comment section and take similar action if the name is posted again.
WFP has heard reports that at least one community group is circulating his name, address, vehicle make, license plate number and photo. While this information is important for people to protect their families, the public should be cautioned about disseminating this information.
Rumors are going around about a protest rally on the street where this person is now living. If this comes to fruition, the public is strongly encouraged not to include his name on the protest signs. WFP also thinks the people that were planning to plaster the town with posters, should be cautious about the content of those posters.
