I'm relieved the strategy they employed with this didn't become too commonplace. This one they ran without any proof (the crime itself hadn't even been reported), waited a while for it to be called a hoax, and then decided to actually provide evidence. That all this happened while they knew the rapist was walking free is probably the only reason we haven't really seen it since. The media and the doctor were practically accessories to the rape. Turns out it's pretty difficult to have enough evidence of a crime to use it as a political cudgel while not implicating yourself.
