He makes Dennis Wise look like a giant he's so small! 😀

I think I've come to the conclusion that rape, and some other serious crimes, should default to anonymity for both parties. This should be discretionary, so that the judge can lift the anonymity in certain cases. Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris are examples of cases I think there is a public interest (an objective one) and where it serves justice to release the name.

We also need to sort the police and CPS out. That probably means electing a government that isn't Tory.

Someone close to me deals with this for a living and sadly has found that lots of girls once questioned have done something they have later regretted rather than been assaulted or raped or made it up for other reasons (30% ish). On one or two occasions the accused have been able to produce video evidence...

Obviously that means that in the rest of the cases the victims have told the truth and sadly its often word on word and very hard to prove.

As for the answer to the question, maybe the press need to publish the court results as well as they publish the accusations.
