SUMMARY: On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly reported that Michael Devlin had "pleaded guilty today to kidnapping and sexually brutalizing two young boys in Missouri. One of them he had held captive for four years." O'Reilly later said, "I'm not going to name the boys, because the boys have been through enough." However, O'Reilly did not address the statement he made regarding the boy who was "held for four years," Shawn Hornbeck, on the January 15 edition of The O'Reilly Factor: "[T]here was an element here that this kid liked about his circumstances."
