Kennebunk police name 21 suspected 'johns,' but confusion follows

Without addresses or ages the identities of the men can't be determined for sure, and at least one local man, whose name is the same as a man on the list, is furious.

A list of 21 names of suspected “johns” in a wide-ranging prostitution case in Kennebunk has been released, but the names have no addresses or ages.
