Please people. These are CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS and you're trying to give them more rights than the guy who robbed the local bank for $2K.  |
its important to point out that "being found guilty in a court of law" is also irrelevant in the context of the show. once a person is ARRESTED for the offense... they are fair game, its a matter of public record and everyone is free to report on it.
its absolutely NO DIFFERENT than some serial rapist being arrested or anyone else... you see them on TV, you see them being arrested, you see them in orange jump suits being transported to court appearances, their identity is made known the moment they are charged. "being proven guilty in a court of law" plays no role whatsoever in the news.
