Story here. Excerpt:
'Everybody knows who she is.
Nobody wants to say her name out loud.
That, more or less, is the situation the 17-year-old girl who cried rape in Palos Heights Sept. 16 finds herself in today, five days after she admitted she made the whole thing up.
The media has a longstanding policy of not naming rape victims in all but the most exceptional circumstances.
...
But when it turns out there wasn't a rape in the first place, the question gets more complicated, media ethics experts say.'
