Presumably, this concerns this article by David Rose and Rosie Waterhouse:

Another version, dated 4 November 2018, with the apparently incorrect information about MWT being first to publicly identify Jim Davidson, is available on Pressreader.

A quote from the article:

However, seasoned detectives say that the guidelines merely enshrine procedures which were already well established in the period 2012 to 2014, when Yewtree was at its height.

One former detective said: ‘The only time you release a suspect’s name before charge is if you don’t have the evidence to charge and there’s a real danger to the public. Otherwise, you just don’t do it – it’s reckless and unethical.’[/quote]

Corrections and clarifications
