Every time this issue comes up it angers me.
They don't allow the name of the girl to be released to protect her (which is good, and an obvious strategy).
But they publish the name of the alleged perpetrator. Who then is immediately guilty in the eyes of the public (as can be seen already in this thread).
It is so wrong, IMO, to announce the charges publicly. If he is convicted, then by all means, crucify him. But it is completely unfair to have someone's reputation slaughtered publicly, on allegations alone.
