Original Note:
It is incorrect to claim that the media “refuse to name” complainants in the Brand case. In the UK, all complainants/alleged victims of sexual offences such as rape have anonymity by law https://blackwells.co.uk/extracts/9780199556458_McNae.pdf This is to prevent harassment or targeting by friends and supporters of the accused
