You see, IF he fits under the statute, then he would be entitled to anonymity. But here's the beauty - the media is under NO obligation to do so. Their obligation is ethical. They should do their homework and ensure their due diligence has been done, and they are 300% sure that they may be mentioning or outing the correct person. For example, in this case, reports are absolutely firm in the identity.

Also, many state that under the statute, this gentleman doesn't qualify. We'll see for sure down the road.
