Ronaldo, Craig Charles, John Lesley... their are sooo many guys who get accused of rape when they are innocent. Why do their names get shown in the press, while the accusers get annonymity?
Look at Ronaldo last year, he was eventually not charged but his image was dragged through the mud, while his accuser wasn't even paraded through the press when the charges were thrown out..!! Where's the equality in that?
Also now with this Big Brother Sezer thing, why is his name being shown in the papers when he hasn't been found guilty, whereas the "glamour" model that has accused him gets total annonymity?
Fair enough if they are found guilty, but if the charges are dropped then the accuser should face charges for bringing false charges in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, rape is of course a terrible thing and if found guilty, send them to prison for 50 years, but while they have not been found guilty surely their identity should also be protected?...
