Today’s story in the Seattle Times about an SPU alum and his years-long campaign to get the SPU student newspaper to purge from its online archives stories reporting allegations of sexual assault against him, reminded me of a difficult situation I faced last year. I was contacted by Episcopal Bishop Vincent Warner–then-head of the Western Washington Episcopal Diocese–about a woman he was counseling. She had been alleged to be part of the infamous Miss Washington brothel scandal of 1999 and we had named her in a Rick Anderson story . The article was showing up whenever anyone searched on her name. The Bishop told me that the woman had turned her life around and he asked if I could please remove the story from our site. The woman herself also contacted one of our classified ad reps about it. I feel for her, but seems like a better solution would be for her to change her name.
