I find there is a fairly clear and logical argument behind naming them in that it does encourage other victims to come forward. Though the argument in support of anonymity is also clear and logical so it is a tricky one imo.

I would say though that I dont think its necessarily the case that mud sticks even after someone has been cleared and that they will forever be castigated about it. For a couple of recent examples look at Bill.Roache and Michael Levell. Both cleared in a court of law and met with a wave of public sympathy as a result, and both were then able to enjoy the support of their bosses and were back on Corrie within weeks
