A 9-year-old alleged rapist

How do you decide to run a story about a suspect in a rape if he is so young you can't, ethically, run his name. I'm sure it's not easy.

Azcentral.com ran this story about one of the suspected rapists in the case of an 8-year-old Liberian girl in an apartment complex in north Phoenix. The trials have been ongoing for all of the boys involved in the incident, but this particular story was about the youngest boy's ability to stand trial.

Technically, the story is easy to read and you don't really notice that his name is never mentioned. Similar stories, like that of the St. John's boy who killed his father, make it more
easy for the suspects to be labeled (Balloon boy).

As news develops, it seems like it continually gets harder to withhold pertinent information
from readers in the interest of minimizing harm, even to a rapist. I think my only query is if the story is even newsworthy at this point and if the story should even focus on a child or any person that would be unethical to name. The story could have been written about the 15-year-old who could be named in connection with this story, and a graf could have been dedicated to the 9-year-old who can't, but then the lead would not have been so compelling. I am torn about the story and its relevancy.
