Christie Blatchford is setting a good example: "Postmedia is indulging me in my decision not to use the names of the accused men unless and until they are convicted."

I didn't know any drug existed that could be traceless in less than 3 days, and 3 days is more than enough time to be tested if one thought they were drugged and raped. These men may have raped these women, but I find it highly unlikely they did so with the use of drugs. All of the women admitted to drinking, a few quite heavily.

Awesome that the journalist is withholding their names until conviction. If only all journalists extended that act of decency to the accused.

I don't know how to mark this submission with flair. I looked, couldn't find instructions.

The whole thing is a travesty of justice. Accusers and supporting witnesses are anonymous, the accused is not. "Witnesses" need not have witnessed anything to do with the charge. The method used in the supposed crime, the date rape drug, by its very nature cannot be detected. The only thing I can think of that could be worse is to pay the accuser for coming forward, and I think in England they do just that.

Terrible story, silver lining is people aren't being attacked until a proper investigation happens.
