I understand that if the details of a person, who has been charged with an offence, are released it is in effect potentially unfair to that person, as of course innocent until proven guilty tends to be forgotten.

However, I also see that in the Yew Tree investigation, that it is likely that if the details of a person who is charged are released, then it is probable, that others, whom that person has assaulted, who have not until then reported it, are likely to come forward and report. I suspect that is why, for example, Rolf Harris if facing further charges.
I also understand that the possibility of convicting a person charged with assaults which are so old is likely to prove difficult if they do not plead guilty.

One way in which such cases might be proved is by ‘system’. That is, that they have a number of complainants, who cannot possible know each other, making practically the same allegations, with the same MOs. That is rather like a person who passes one dud cheque may not be convicted as it is difficult to prove that they knew the cheque would bounce. But if they pass several such cheques, then by ‘system’ it is `provable that they knew the cheques would bounce.
