Dont get me wrong, I know how rare false accusations are. But I do acknowledge that when it comes to high profile men, lots of press, the possibility of compensation..it can encourage chancers. And then people can assume guilt simply because there are a lot of accusations also. Bad bad combo really.

This is why it's better to have the rule we have here about the accused not being allowed to be named unless they're found guilty. It also protects the accusers/victims better because alot of times they get treated as badly or worse than the accused
