I think that would only apply if the victim was the daughter, for example, of the person being charged because then you could easily find out the victim's identity,
But the news is full of stories of people charged in regards to students or non-relatives, and the accused's name is definitely published.
In fact there was a story yesterday (in the Star) about a swim coach who was accused and lost his job and reputation and now the charges have been withdrawn.
