I’m so sorry to hear of these challenges you are having with this issue... I hope through time and the changing of management that eventually you will be able to get these articles removed.

Louis Fortis

Editor/Publisher, Shepherd Express

I think what you went through was unfortunate... Glad that you got vindicated.

“Girl 1”

Woman Involved in the 2016 Case

The reports do make it seem like a very different story. I'm sorry you went through that, there was really no winning in that situation, your fate was already kind of decided. I'm glad you were able to get a lot of the reports taken down.

Dan Shelley

President/CEO, Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA)

I will personally make sure that we pass along your feedback to the RTDNA Ethics Committee, which reviews our coverage guidelines on a regular basis. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the matter.

RTDNA Policy Change

While police sources are an important resource in covering crime, we recommend they not be the only sources used. While we respect the view of law enforcement, news organizations must do their best to find additional sources to give consumers a full understanding of the stories we cover.

Vincent Duffy

News Director of Michigan Radio, Board Member at RTDNA

In my opinion, news organizations that tell you they won’t remove the story, but also won’t update the story or take the time to add crucial context at a later date are not only being unethical, but lazy and cruel.

Terence Shepherd

News Director at KPBS, Board Member of Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA)

You've raised an interesting question about having us create guidelines for takedown requests... This may be an issue that we could take up in the future...

Ben Hutchison

Former Reporter of Some of the Remaining Stories

I always believed in the human side of life over just "getting a story"...Keep grinding, and hopefully you can get what you want done. All the best to you and your family.

Tim Bremel

News Director, WCLO

...there is a human element to these stories as well... as an act of compassion... we feel the history is preserved in any court records and are willing to take the story down to hopefully help you in regaining your life...

Vincent Duffy

News Director of Michigan Radio, Board Member at RTDNA

...the broader issues you raise through your circumstances are certainly ones that RTDNA should be discussing, and providing better guidance on for our members.

Tim Vetscher

News Director, TMJ4

Sorry for the delay on this. We'll work on removing the stories starting today. Will let you know when it's done. Thanks for reaching out & good luck with the wedding later this year!

Jim Wilson

News Director, FOX6

I have instructed our DCM to remove the posts involving you from our site. It may already be done. Good luck to you and your family.

Libby Collins

On-Air Personality, WTMJ

...many people like you are trying to put a difficult period in their lives behind them. We will definitely keep that in mind when reviewing our coverage... I wish you the best in your mission to have these stories removed from archives.

Adriaan Brits

CEO, Sitetrail

Media entities in a "me-too" age feel that they have moral high ground and ability to persecute people for the rest of their lives once an allegation has been started, whether true or not.

Adriaan Brits

CEO, Sitetrail

In the West we are providing a free platform and tax dollars to people who commit atrocious crimes but want to punish someone forever over very defensible human matters - and that is something we don't agree with. So happy to assist you where we can.

Troy McDonald

News Director, WGTD

...WGTD News decided to remove the article regarding your 2016 case. It is no longer on our site. Thank you.

AnnTerese Crame

Private Investigator and Skiptrace Professional, Self-Employed

I have seen all the evidence... I strongly urge the takedown of these articles so that Justin and his family can move forward in life. Thank you so much for your time.

Daniela Bessia

No worries. I work in the news too, so I know how it works. All the misinformation out there, and many times so manipulated.

Cara Spoto

Associate Editor at UpNorthNews, Original Author of Several of the Remaining Stories

I wish you luck in your efforts.

Bob Hague

News Director, Wisconsin Radio Network

The posting has been removed from public view.
