Or, you could say that Free Republic marches bravely forward when the media quivers and runs back to their ugly mothers  ;-)

I must say I was a bit surprised that they released the woman's name even though she's only been accused.  I'm assuming this would also be the case if the alleged perp was a man, which is a cudgel that has been wielded against men far too often.  When a man is accused of a sex crime he has his life instantly destroyed while the accuser, who 'may' be a liar, has her identity protected.  I had thought that most Western countries had changed things in the past few years where both parties' names are undisclosed until there's a conviction?  I guess not.  This is actually pretty scary, if your picture and name are still fair game in such matters after merely being 'accused' and before you even stand trial.
