Anonymity is a must, so the victims will not fear coming forward.

With Cliff, after the raid the police said many others came forward with information, which is telling.

Maybe Cliff has been abusing more than one little boy.

Time to extradite him from Portugal, arrest and charge him.

As for that DJ who played one of his records, I hope the radio station takes disciplinary action against him, because that can bring that station in to bad repute

Until you or someone you love gets accused of a crime they didn't commit. Then I suggest that your call for the accused to be named might change in a heartbeat. If they're going to name people who are, in the eyes of the law, innocent, then there should be very loud calls for accusers to be named once the accused is acquitted.

I hope Cliff Richard has Jim Davidson's lawyer on speed dial. And I also hope that the slanderous comments being made online right now are vigorously pursued by his legal team. I'm utterly amazed that people are naive enough to go down the "he's been accused therefore he's guilty" route, and similarly (although less) surprised also that this slander is allowed to stand on a publicly accessible forum.
