    MPR News generally does not name suspects until they are charged with a crime. Editors chose to name Eichorn following his arrest given his prominence as an elected senator. He has not been charged with a crime.

    Is solicitication of a minor NOT a crime? Is this suggesting he may not get charged at all? WTF???

      Arrested yesterday evening, booked, remains in custody. The charges are coming, they’re just not all put together yet.
