Release of Names in Prostitution Case Stirs Debate

Published by The Associated Press on Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Press Herald attorney Sigmund Schutz argued Tuesday that releasing only partial information was unfair to people not on the list.

"The fact is that by releasing names only, you're getting a lot of false positives. You're implicating people who may be completely innocent and simply share the same or similar names with people charged, and that's a real harm," Schutz told the AP.
