Associated Press report published on Sunday insisted that the conservative network would not name the minors charged in the case.

"Editors’ Note: The Associated Press named the minors charged due to the fact they have been identified in other news coverage and their names were used in open court," the note said. "FoxNews.com will not name the defendants."

The National Alliance to End Sexual Violence encourages news organizations "not to publish the names of minors who come forward with allegations of sexual abuse or rape and to avoid reporting stories in such a way that these minors are identifiable."

The alliance recommended that news organizations "report these stories with sensitivity toward the stigma associated with being publicly named."

On Sunday, CNN host Candy Crowley and reporter Poppy Harlow came under fire after expressing sympathy for the rapists and making little mention of the rape victim.

During Monday news reports, however, CNN censored the victim's name while airing the same clip of Mays apologizing that Fox News had broadcast undited.
