im pretty sure genuine victims of rape or sexual abuse get very angry when stories of false accusations come to light and rightfully so
they should either protect the accused until proven guilty by not naming them in teh press etc or toughen up on people who make false accusations
im all for hanging sex offenders from a tree but in cases of sexual abuse or rape the accused shoudl be protected until proven guilty because they are crimes that even when teh person is found innocent the person can find themslves labled a sex pest for life
mud sticks is a very acurate phrase when it comes to sex crimes which is proven by the poor sod in katex's post who was harrased to teh point of it probably killing him despite been proven not guilty of what he was accused of

I agree 100% accyman, people should only be named when found guilty, and afforded the same rights as the victim. If as you say the so called victim makes a malicious claim of rape they should feel the full force of the law
