Student Liam Allan 'betrayed' after rape trial collapse
Just saw this, what I didn't see was the name of the accuser, whether there were plans to prosecute her and condemnations from the likes of Rape Crisis etc over the damage false accusations do to genuine victims. As his name would have been released from the start of the investigation and 'mud sticks' it would seem only correct that the other party "enjoyed" the full force of accountability and publicity after the case was dismissed
I guess where I'm going with this is the old bone of contention "if the 'victim' can be anonymous during the investigation and trial, why not the accused?"
