UK: Open justice row as Home Secretary probes giving anonymity to suspected criminals, including those accused of rape.

TIL in the UK accused persons can be identified prior to prosecution.

Critics say not revealing names would stop more victims coming forward.

Perhaps temporarily, but not permanently. Once the trial is over, the information will be made public, and they can still come forward later. Multiple trials are possible.

That is a clever way to deal with the media firestorm crime drama thing.

Some counter-points against the tiresome "argument" of "stopping victims from coming forward" (which is also the card used when people suggest punishing women who make false accusations):

Why didn't the so-called past "victims" come forward when the supposed incident happened?
Why didn't the so-called past "victims" make a Police report when the supposed incident happened?
There is usually never any evidence provided by the so-called past "victims" that come forward 10 weeks or 10 months or 10 years later after the supposed incident.
The so-called past "victims" who come forward could be lying.
Innocent men's lives are ruined and destroyed even if their cases does not reach Charges
Jess Phillips is a disgusting man-hating misandrist who should be fired and not be able to get another job in Politics

The ~~feminists and women~~ people who want the accused to be named on Arrest are quite simply man-hating misandrists who want accused men to be lynch-mobbed regardless on whether he is innocent or not. Add to that on how the CPS has stated that they want to raise the Conviction rate of men who are accused of SA or/and R.

Plus the fact that they want to have Specialist Courts just to deal with SA and R cases. Which means that it will have different rules and procedures, likely biased to obtain Convictions. This is absolutely terrifying.

AND having the "victims" being allowed to just record their statements and cross-examinations, which means that they don't even have to show up in Court.

It's clear as daylight now that they don't care if men are innocent, they are happy to jail innocent men. They want women to have the power to ruin men's lives just like that. They really should just admit it, I mean they won't be criticised for it, in fact they'll be CELEBRATED.
