Why is a minor being named in the press (with a photo even!), especially given the presumption of innocence unless and until proven guilty?

Shameful.

If you click on the source link under it you are redirected to https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/3s2adqyp5tajl2auiuuml/h?dl=0&... they apparently got all reports including a photo and just published it unredacted.

Maybe I misread the report but he doesn't even seem to have been convicted of any of the filled charges yet.

Can you not name innocent people in the press?
