In all other crimes, the accuser's and accusee's identities are revealed by the media, but not in sexual assault cases. Why? Is this fair? What makessexual crimes so different? If sex is so sensitive a subject that the alleged victim needs to be protected, what about the alleged offender? When thatperson's name and identity are revealed, their reputation is shot, no matter if they're guilty or innocent. Rape or sexual assault is one of thosecrimes where the perception of guilt sticks.
I think if you're going to protect the alleged victim, then the alleged offender should be protected as well, too... it's only right.
