ABSTRACT

In May of 1991, an editorial in the Tampa Tribune apologized for reporting a police investigation at the home of the publisher a foil nine days after the incident. On April 26, a young woman and several men whom she had met dancing—among them the publisher's son—went to his home, where she allegedly fell asleep and upon waking discovered that she had been sexually assaulted. Jim Urbanski, the publisher, was out of town on that day.
