to be fair, neither should be made public, absent a finding of guilty by a jury, or a plea bargain by the accused. in the alternative, both accuser and accused's names should be made public. absolutely, sex crimes are totally different from all other crimes, murder included. an accused, but not convicted murderer doesn't have nearly the negative halo around him/her, as an accused rapist or pedophile does. convicted murderer's, upon release, if ever, aren't required to register on a murderer's list, each time they move. i could go on, but the point is made. either both, or neither. i lean towards neither.
