No one wants to give out Kim's name. She disappeared for almost a week and when she resurfaced she had a lawyer or said she did.

I'm a little perplexed as to why her name is such a secret.
It's going to come out in time, so I just don't understand the big secret.

I know the media people (even the locals) are out scared about being charged with taring the reputation or blaming the victim when she is a minority.

From her voice and diction I got the impression that she is educated, and coupled w/her claim that her parents did not know that she was/is a stripper, I wonder if she might be from a well-known upper class black family and the media is protecting her because of that.

If that is so, too bad about those Duke boys who are also educated and from upper class families....they're guilty for being white males.
