TULSA, Okla. — Update: On October 7, a federal judge ruled the minors can keep using the “child doe” pseudonyms in public documents. In the opinion, the judge wrote that the “need for anonymity… outweighs the public interest in favor of openness.” The plaintiffs will have to disclose legal names on the record to the court; it will remain under seal.
This spring, dozens of “John, Jane, and Child Does” housed at the Tulsa County Detention Center filed a civil lawsuit.
