Joe Khalil of Fox 40 Sacramento doesn't like being corrected on the fact people cannot be "arrested for pedophilia"



One of my pet peeves is reporters using terms like "arrested/ convicted for pedophilia."

So a fellow activist contacted this reporter after he posted the following in a news article:

https://fox40.com/2019/06/17/police-departments-doctored-photo-of-alleged-sex-offender-leads-to-new-policy/

"In the original photograph, 36-year-old **** happened to be wearing a T-shirt with a campaign logo of a man running for Congress. At the time, **** was being arrested for pedophilia."

At least Joe Khalil eventually updated the page to remove the offensive term, and I would have left it at that, but then the reporter insisted on defending his use of the term and was offended by the notion that the term is offensive and improperly used. Thus, he gets recognition on this blog.
