17 year old actor charged with rape

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

It's interesting that this young man has not been named.
Is it because he is famous or because he is under 18?
He's easy enough to find anyway. The case was mentioned back in June.

[ummmm]

It was mentioned on here yesterday.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I'm hoping it's because he's under 18 and therefore a juvenile.
If it's just because he's famous then the law should override that.
Personally, I think all men accused of rape should remain anonymous until they are convicted. It's just too easy to destroy someone's life with an unfounded allegation.

[ummmm]

Baldric....any links got removed yesterday.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Baldric please don't post links. I would like this thread to stay.
Do any of the law experts out there know if it's because of his age?

[ummmm]

Baldric hasn't named anyone................

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Thank you Ummmm. Looks like it is his age then. That gladdens my heart a little.
After the BBC events of the last few weeks I would be upset if someone's familiarity to the public was enough to put them above the law.

Awww Jeebus, there goes the thread. :(

[ummmm]

Dotty...a thread was removed yesterday for naming him. Giving the name of his character is more or less the same thing.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

A thread like this got pulled yesterday Dotty. I'm presuming that it was because the person was named, although I didn't see it.
Who's being dramatic?

[ummmm]

It is when it's been reported previously.
