This is a tough subject. Should a 19 yo girl that was raped have their name strewn about the papers etc? I don't think so, I think they have the right to some privacy. At the same time, unfortunately not all accusers are honest. Sometimes women falsely accuse men of sexual crimes. They can do this for any number of reasons, vengeance, financial gain, or just for attention . -It happens. Perhaps it would happen less if the women didn't have the shield of anonymity.
Because I think false accusations are the minority (unfortunately) I think women should still have the protection of anonymity.
