In a nutshell Cliff Richard and other well known men have launched a campaign to grant anonymity to accused sexual offenders.
AIBU to think they should FOTTFSOF? Aside from it being a well known fact the other victims come forward when they see their abuser/rapist has been charged, there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest a 'false' accusation of a sex crime impacts a person more than a false accusation of any other crime. Its a horrible rape myth that damages victims.
Also the official stats false accusations for rape and sexual assault (of which around 35 people are convicted a year in the U.K.) are no higher than false accusations any other crime.
So why in gods name would those accused of sexual crimes ever get special treatment?
