Though different news organizations have differing thoughts about the advisability of naming rape victims, nearly all of them refrain from doing so in order to protect the victim from any further emotional trauma.
Apparently, this is not the policy at The Lamar Democrat, which, in an article written by Editor Rayma Bekebrock Davis, named a rape victim in a story Wednesday about the conviction of rapist William Bradley King of Lamar in a Kansas trial. Hopefully, this was just an aberration and is not something the Democrat plans on doing on a regular basis.
