Also, almost all media will not mention the name of an alleged rape victim without her/his permission. (Although this victim has been named somewhere at this point, hasn't she?) Right or wrong, it is in the written rules of conduct of many news organizations.
Conversely, the name of someone who is accused of a crime -- in this case, indicted -- who is over the age of 18, that name may be used.

Why was that investigation done? Does anyone in the administration harbor any of their own biases (clearly so given the multitude of op-eds that have been out there since the accusations came about)? In fact I don't see the correlation. Does that mean that someone who is well behaved never rapes or that anyone that drinks rapes? Plus I don't know what the numbers are or what the reasons were for why they got in trouble.
And I know the media doesn't report her name. But that's not right and should be changed. But if they did change it I can just see the groundswell of feminazis that would go insane.
