Then I would say to have enough of an investigation to warrant publishing his name. Enough reason to believe that the victim is telling the truth and that more would come forward.
My concern is that once a lengthy trial process starts, it's harder to find justice for other victims. It's far better to have one trial for all cases, than separate trials just strung along (if that would even happen).
You make very valid points and I think we agree that there needs to be a balance or compromise that is never going to maximize the ability of the victims to obtain justice and at the same time also maximize the protection of innocent defendants. There will always have this tension between these two goals.
