A Sedgwick County judge refuses to drop a lawsuit filed by a man who accuses a TV station of wrongly identifying him as a suspect in the BTK killer investigation.

District Judge Mark Vining ruled against Wichita's KSNW and its lawyer, who said coverage of the December 2004 arrest of Roger Valadez was accurate.

Valadez was cleared long before the arrest of Dennis Rader, who eventually confessed to all ten BTK killings.

Valadez's lawyer argued that even if the televised reports were true, the station had no right to identify Valadez by name, label him a BTK suspect or spend hours outside his home broadcasting live news shots.

The station argued that the case should be dismissed because the newscasts were accurate, that Valadez was in fact a BTK suspect at that time.
