I absolutely agree with this ruling, for the reasons analog stated. This isn't a case where you can follow your knee-jerk reaction and try to come down on the side of free speech. She can say he raped her all she wants outside the courtroom, her rights aren't being infringed.
All he's doing is guarunteeing the accused a fair trial. Otherwise, you'd be in the awkward position of:
"We the jury find the rapist guilty of raping the rape victim"
