Open Grant anonymity to individuals accused of sexual assault until a guilty verdict

Created by Ryan Robertson
Closes on

Automatically grant anonymity to individuals accused of rape or sexual assault, which prevents them from being named publicly, until a court reaches a guilty verdict.

This could help protect the reputation and privacy of those who may be innocent, and will result in individuals only being named until they are found guilty in a court of law.
