Triple sex assault predator and the media that wont identify him.

[TrumpIsPresident]

So what happened was a man sexually assaulted three people, two of them underage children, and was caught.

The interesting part is how the media is telling the tale.

Let's start with the CBC.

Sexual assault in Lethbridge hotel pool nets multiple charges for Calgary man

A 28-year-old Calgary man has been charged with three counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference with a minor following an incident at a Lethbridge hotel.

Police responded to a call of a man inappropriately touching a woman and two young girls in a hotel swimming pool on Saturday in the 2300 block of Mayor Magrath Drive south.

The man was found at the hotel and police took him into custody without incident.

The victims were not known to the accused, who is currently out on bail and will appear in court on April 29.

Lethbridge police are asking for anyone else that might have been assaulted, or who witnessed the incident, to contact them.

Now what is missing from this, hmm, what item do you typically always see in a crime write-up that you don't see here?

Yes, that's right ...the suspects name!

Certainly with charges filed the name of the suspect becomes public record.

And certainly if you're making the effort to mention that "police are asking for anyone else that might have been assaulted" you would give that name.

Maybe you're thinking "hmm perhaps they didn't get the name".

Well rule that out because here's the official police report that appears to be exactly where the CBC got its information from, note all the particulars are line for line as in the CBC article save for of course the suspects name.

Calgary man charged with sexual assault at hotel pool

Lethbridge Police have charged a Calgary man in connection with an incident where a woman and two girls were sexually assaulted at a hotel pool.

On April 16, 2016 police responded to the Holiday Inn along the 2300 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South. Investigation determined that a male had inappropriately touched an adult female and two young girls in the pool. The male was located and arrested without incident. The victims were not known to the accused.

Wijdan Yasir, 28, of Calgary, is charged with three counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference. Yasir was released from custody on $1,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court April 29.

As these sexual assaults occurred in a hotel pool it is possible there may be additional victims or witnesses who have not yet been identified. Police are asking anyone who may have additional information to call 403-328-4444.

The investigation is ongoing.

So why would CBC, or any media outlet for the matter, redact the suspects name especially when an active investigation critical to public safety and justice is still ongoing?

Why ...oh why ...indeed.

And that's where I'll leave it, so lets discuss the motives for leaving out this suspects name.

[Tradewind]

CBC gonna be CBC.

[Garnier Fructis]

So we don't get vigilantes killing the wrong people by mistake.

People, like you are doing here, judging a person as guilty is exactly the reason why full names shouldn't be in the media, or even public record, until a verdict has been reached.

[PC2]

That is really dishonest and pathetic to leave his name out when it is clearly central to the news piece itself.

Basically they see some ethnic backgrounds and cultures as being like little children who need special protection.

[Kraenen]

Also reducing the chances people catch the suspect (in other cases)

He is obviously an immigrant?

It's funny, because in most sexual assault cases this board goes crazy about innocent before proven guilty, men's names shouldn't be released, it ruins their life, this is unfair to men, blargh blargh blargh.

Then a muslim does it and this board erupts with a frenzy about how unfair it is that nobody knows his name, that they need to know because he's a dangerous person, that it's a sexual assault CRIME why is everyone covering this up.

No. If you are not yet convicted for a crime, your name has zero business being in the paper unless there's need for it (for example, a fugitive.. and even then, saying "fugitive" is enough without listing the crimes they're wanted for) because it CAN ruin your life even if you're found innocent.

The fact that you, OP, are throwing a fit over a guy in another country that will never affect you is even more hilarious. You're not going to run into him on the street. You're just shitting up the board because a scary brown man was charged, not convicted, with something.

[Kraenen]

It's weird how quickly my fellow "Innocent until proven guilty" people turn so quickly into "burn the rapist!" Feminist mentality when the person accused is a foreigner.

I'm interested in the quotes there. Got source/citation/references for those exact quotes?

[Deleted]

No ones name should ever be published unless they are found guilty in a court of law, too many peoples lives have been fucked beyond repair just for being charged even if they are found innocent.

[Vanyali]

Fuck, said it before i could finish typing.

I go before you to spread the message of Dragon Jesus in preparation for your arrival!

[TrumpIsPresident]

Police ask the public for any others who might have been assaulted by the suspect to come forward.

Media, which dispenses information to the public, relays that request and redacts suspects name.

Why do you think they did that and what logic is there in the act?

[Sunseeker]

Some countries have laws against naming the suspect, so that until they are certain of who the suspect is, people don't go all whoopass on the wrong person.

Suspects may or may not be criminals, they are entitled to full protection of the law until found guilty in a court of said law of violating it.

I know you don't care and the only reason you're making this thread is to slam brown people, but there are valid reasons to protect the suspect.

Well, the full name was already released to the public by the police.. Damage is done already. The CBC could have just named him Wijdan Y. (well, thats what most newspapers do anyway.... when its a native name atleast.)

Why do you think you went off on a tangent for a quote that had nothing to do with the tangent, so long as we're asking dumb, loaded questions?

Which should be, imo, illegal. Which is my point, because the board usually goes into a frothing rage whenever a rape thread comes up and a name is given.

[Kalis]

Perhaps they looked at Wijdan Yasir and thought it was a typo or an anagram of Jays air wind.

[TrumpIsPresident]

If you cant/wont answer then why did you quote me in the first place?

/eyeroll

[shadowmatrix]

So was this a case of 3 rapes or 3 cases of groping? Calling everything sexual assault is far too broad of a scope.

[Tradewind]

What's missing here is that while naming suspects is inherently problematic, it's still being done. The CBC has a history of purposely redacting names of suspects in similar crimes if they sound "Middle Eastern."

Examples include:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...kham-1.3555088
vs: http://www.newstalk1010.com/news/201...ult-in-markham

as opposed to:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-s...rges-1.3521706
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...arge-1.3537444
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar...erta-1.3542826

Where they named the suspect openly.

[Vanyali]

If you cant/wont answer then why did you quote me in the first place?

see the "dumb, loaded question".

The only answer you're going to accept is "BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PROTECT MUSLIMS!!!!!!!!!!!". So why bother with your inane questions?
