The most depressing story of all time, and a good reason why you should never dox anyone and why you should correct any mistakes you make as soon as possible

When he was let out of custody, Temples release papers wrongly stated that he had been suspected of inciting sexual relations with a 13-year-old girl.

Temple did not know of the error when he gave the papers to his then girlfriend, the court heard. When she then began spreading the incorrect information, Temple was subjected to verbal and physical abuse and his home was attacked, the court heard.

...Dox the former girlfriend
What a fucking bitch

And why are we only hearing about this 5 and a half years after he killed himself?

The U.S. in general has a huge problem w/ splashing accused peoples' names and faces across the news, and then if it turns out it was the wrong person there's like a small correction box on page 18 or whatever. I know this was a police report in error, but same basic principle...
