Ashland Daily Tidings - Vigilante Journalism

I am concerned about the Ashland Daily Tidings two page story on prominent Ashland resident, Jamie Auchincloss. I think child pornography is horrific, but what the Ashland Daily Tidings is doing is pretty scary too. Is this legal? Can you try and convict someone in a local paper without even an arrest or indictment? What's going on here?

The big question is why police seem to have made this a low priority, when there's also testimony that he has been taking photographs of children in Ashland. It's been six months since they seized evidence that seems to be incontrovertible. It's understandable that his friends find this hard to believe, but interesting to note that we have not heard any protest from Mr. Auchincloss.; ▶ Reply to This
