I find this a difficult one - and have mixed feelings!
Like many I think women who make false accusations - should be severely punished and their identities exposed - it is despicable behaviour!
And, whilst in theory at least, I agree male defendants should be entitled to anonymity until proven guilty - my concern is that many 'get-off' on technicalities and may not necessarily be innocent! Rape can be a hard offence to prove and, as such, many guilty offenders are acquited on lack of evidence - free to rape again with no-one being aware of their propensity to rape!
But at the same time - I feel for the poor men falsely accused! Can't make up my mind on this one!
