The part I don't understand is why was there a publication ban that protected Chu from having this information come out?
Publication bans are supposed to protect the victims from being identified or identifiable. In many cases like this, all of the details of the abuse are blocked because the relationship between the abuser and the victim is so close that any details would be enough to make it possible to identify the victim.
That shouldn't have been the case here because (as far as I know) the victim and Chu had no prior relationship other than a possible previous encounter in his role as a police officer and her as a member of the public.
None of the information that has come out in the last two weeks has done anything to identify the victim. Why wasn't this same amount of information available publicly 24 years ago -- or any point since then?
