Whatever the view on anonymity until conviction in rape cases there is still that protection until you're charged so it's better not to undermine that in case that charge doesn't come.
And you hit the nail on the head why this thread should not yet have been started. There is not much of a topic in debating and guessing if one is guilty or not.

I said the other day, in another thread about "Innocence until proven guilty" and we're not even in "been charged" territory.
