Anonymity, until proved guilty in a Court of Law, is THE only way to protect an innocent person from both categories of the above.
And innocent people who have been WRONGLY accused of such heinous crimes NEED protecting.

I agree they shouldn't name names. Remember the poor guy who was named and photo'd all over the press for the murder of Rachel Nickell in front of her toddler? He was tried by press, hounded, the police tried to get him with a honey trap and it turned out that it had nothing to do with him. Poor man. Being a bit weird isn't a crime.
