IF she is found to have lied, then I will struggle to understand why she deserves to receive protection for her identity. The only reason I'm reading here so far is that real rape victims may not want to report their cases due to fear of being outed. Ok, I get that.
Here's the thing - I'm going to look at it from the man's perspective. Is it fair for a woman to falsely accuse a man of rape only to have his name and organization publicly smeared and have people conduct protests against him? Then, when his accuser is found to be a liar, be told, "Oh well, sorry. We're not going to release the name of the person who ruined your reputation and life to protect the unnamed, hypothetical, future rape victims that may or may not be telling the truth as well". That would be BS.
