I'm surprised that some seem to think Kidd's name should not have been released. Names of POI's have been released in many, many of the cases we follow here. It is not unusual at all.

Kidd was arrested on suspicion of rape from what I've read
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/13/missouri.child.sexual.abuse/
Now, if ya google "arrested on suspicion of rape", it's interesting how many links ya get to news stories.
So it appears to me that LE often arrests on 'suspicion' of a crime - and the the arrestee's name is public.
I don't understand why it is unethical when the public's safety could be of concern.
Too bad I lost my post with my thoughts on this in the previous thread.
I'm trying too to understand why arresting someone then letting them go is unethical, and apparently not SOP.
