We reported you are charged with a crime. We didn't report you were guilty of a crime.

We publish all arrests that are released by local law enforcement (not all, it seems, are released). No exceptions. So, no, we're not taking it down.

Further, the publication of false information is called libel, not slander. Even so, this article does not constitute libel because we do not say you did anything. We say you were accused of a crime and arrested. That is 100-percent factual, as you, yourself, admit. It has no relation to whether you're guilty or innocent, merely that you were arrested and charged.
