    I can't believe they would post the defendants name, DOB and address on the internet. That's basically saying, "hey, victim's family. Here's where the guy lives."

    Yes, and they will also list him as a sexual predator which thankfully allows parents to monitor where he lives so they can keep kids away from him!
