Cliff Richard has spoken out on this recently after his issues with the BBC naming him in connection with Operation Yewtree although he was never arrested or charged as the argument is that mud sticks regardless of if the person is innocent. There's also been other examples of this outside of the realm of sexual abuse with the couple falsely named as being responsible for the drone disruption at Heathrow and, a fair few years back now, there was that murder case in which the media pretty much tried and convicted someone for it in the press who had nothing to do with it, I think ITV made a drama about it a year or two ago. Plus you have that example from ages ago when the Sun published a list of names of peadophiles and they messed up on one of the names and named a paediatrician instead.
I'm of the belief that, unless someone's been arrested then their names should be kept out of the press, once an arrest is made, however, it's fair game. |

In theory I think names should be kept out until charges have been pressed.
In practice in the Internet / social media age, it's going to get out anyway. |

Before an arrest they shouldnt be named (though not sure how they would be named before an arrest is made..). After, then its obviously news of public interest.

No I don't believe they should too many people are arrested and not charged, and it is something that follows them around forever if their name gets into the media
Chris Jeffries who had his life ruined for being wrongfully arrested for the Jo Yeates murder springs to mind

i think they should be named if it's in the public interest that they be informed.
I see Cliff Richard signed up to this supporting new laws, where existing laws saw the people that "wronged" him were found guilty and fined. So existing laws did the job they were supposed to. |

Quite obvious this will be what happens. Or had already happened.

No they shouldn’t be, especially in cases that could follow them forever even if they’re innocent, if they’re convicted then they should be named, but until then, people should be anonymous

And the sad thing is I wouldn't even blame the girl because even taking on someone who isn't famous with unlimited funds usually doesn't result in a conviction. She would likely be the one on trial just look at that case in NI

They shouldn't be named unless found guilty and charged because you can arrest someone then find out they are innocent and their name is out there ,career and reputation ruined ,Cliff Richard will never be regarded the same again, which is unfair.

Anyway, he will be innocent because anyone who says a celeb (especially a loaded one) abused them is just doing it for the money Was looking through old Saville threads on another site last night, and there were loads of people saying that all the victims were just doing it for cash. Its quite scary really. 'Another one after compensation, this does a disservice to those who have actually been abused' etc etc

There was a TV drama about it, he had a horrendous time, basically shunned in his own neighbourhood and had to move home, I think he lost his job as well if I remember rightly

The problem was he didn't fit into the normal person model so was an easy victim for people to blame which is sad
