I hate to even post this, but the court has uploaded the latest motion from the defense to suppress possible ID by the victim. Unfortunately, they include the victim's name and other identifying information. Not good!!

Happy dance! I called the clerk about the name being unredacted and now the motion is down from the website. I just wish it hadn't been out in public to start with.

Thank you times a million! She doesn't need any more humiliation than she has already dealt with. If the victim chooses to display her name, that should be her choice, not Dawn Butorac's. IMO. Thank you!!

I wanted to see the motion but oh well

There are many news articles that outline the motion. Here is one:

I believe the motion will be posted again, with her name redacted or in initials as we've seen in the past.

Thank you!!!! is not enough. *You rock*. (And so do the media outlets which have removed, or not published, the name).

My google-mojo is not working too well tonight , does anyone have the name of the prosecutor (Commonwealth attorney?) handy? TIA.

ETA : am I right I'm thinking Ray Morrogh and Casey Lingan are the prosecutors?

 

[Hoosgirl]

I believe the judge will be addressing the issue of the victim's name being released at tomorrow's hearing

 

[Hoosgirl]

Oh, looky there. Judge just posted an order temporarily sealing the motion to suppress and noting a hearing to be held regarding identifying the victim by initials.

I so agree. I am glad the media refrained from publishing the name.

I see Lingan as submitting at least one motion from the state, so I think you are right.

<Prosecutors say they have DNA evidence linking Matthew to the crime.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday afternoon.>

So apparently the released the name of the victim and then redacted it.. did I get that right?

<Documents alleged Matthew choked her and sexually assaulted her with his hand. DNA was taken from the victim and that sample linked Matthew to the offense, according to the documents.

That evidence prompted Matthew’s defense to request funds in the amount of $2,000 for a DNA expert.>

BBM. In a nutshell, the defense put out a motion and in that motion they used the full name of the victim, rather than the initials RG. The court unknowingly uploaded that motion to the court website. When they were made aware, they removed it. Then, the judge sealed the motion until after the hearing tomorrow, where they will discuss the motion itself, as well as the appropriate way to address the victim.

Generally, sexual assault victims are referred to by first name and last initial of last name, or just initials. In the Steve Biela case for example, two of his victims are referred to as Emma C and Amanda C. In the Fairfax case, however, they did say her full name would be used in court, but mainstream media will not publish it, for the sake of being ethical.
