As I said a few pages back a good compromise would be that suspects get anonymity by default but if the police can present a clear public interest case to a judge then they can name them publicly. The judge would have advice to use such powers rarely and only when there is an obvious need (i.e Rolf Harris, Saville). This would allow most suspects anonymity but address the cases where we're talking about a possible serial abuser/rapist.
