When it comes to sex crimes, both of the two points of view have legitimate issues here. Personally, in my view, a solution to many of the issues dealing with these crimes/issues could actually be mitigated by a relatively simple change. Anonymous until proven guilty. Not just innocent, but anonymous. No one needs to know about these sorts of things before the facts are known, people just jump to conclusions. Besides, it makes things easier for the accuser as well, keeps them from being in a forced spotlight, and even if it doesn't reduce false accusations, it should minimize the negative assumptions that go along with it.
Anonymous till proven guilty. Makes sense to me.
