In looking around a bit more into Publication Bans, I found this little tidbit:
Quote:

In the case of sexual offences, the Criminal Code says a judge must order a publication ban to protect the identity of all victims of sexual offences and witnesses of sexual offences who are less than 18 years old. In these cases, the judge tells the victim, witness or Crown prosecutor that they may make a request for this protection. If a request is made, the judge must order a publication ban.
