What the hell does "Regular" mean in the headline? Great reporting

[WTF-the-original]

Uhhh, I believe its probably the name of the town he comes from in Illinois.

The headline could have be written a little clearer. I first thought the he was " regularly ill" or maybe his bathroom habits were on target. Even the article didn't clear up the muddy water as it said he was from Chicago. How about a headline that reads " Illinois man denied bail in Mass sex case ". Just my thoughts. I just read them I don't write them.

i agree-we dont go to school for journalism but could probably write the news much better/clearer
