Incidents like this lead me to think that there is a very elegant and easy fix to the Justice Department regarding this issue.
If the accuser can be anonymous when it comes to accusations of rape, then it should also be that the accused is also anonymous, until a decision has been reached in court.
This would help stop the damage this kind of incident could cause, would help reduce the power that accusers have in situations such as Crispy Critter's case, and would likely have prevented the whole fiasco involving Kobe Bryant - look how well that ended up with accusations leaving BOTH sides damaged.
It should be an easy solution.
