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

Grant anonymity to individuals accused of sexual assault until a guilty verdict — 36 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

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.

Additional details

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.
