In some cases, they keep the names of the alleged victim secret until the trial is over, but paste the name of the ALLEGED rapist all over the papers.
Something is definitely wrong with that. So it might prompt other "victims" to come forward, but....
It's REALLY hard to clear your name/reputation after its been dragged through the mud by the press, and its not fair that the accusers are allowed annonymity.
I agree that rape victims should have anonymity in court, because it is such a humiliating crime, but I think that rapists should enjoy anonymity as well.
