I wouldn't leave this up. Maybe create a retrospective post once the case is over if you want to help others, but don't share details (even minute details) publicly until you've talked to a lawyer first.

If you email [email protected], they may be willing to take this down for you, assuming you can't currently delete it on your own. I understand they do this very occasionally, when there is good reason to do so. Good luck!

Interesting dichotomy between the people upvoting and the people recommending deletion. Surprisingly, no one has flagged this.

it's because this type of situation is interesting, and is often not talked about much publicly.

The cost of information leak is borne by the poster, but the value of the information is gained by those readers. Thus, there's asymmetric benefit.
