Name suppression
Letter to the Editor
by Lothar Brandt, New Plymouth

The legal system got it wrong yet again. Here we have a Taranaki male doctor who is accused of multiple sex offences but has thus far managed to get his name suppressed, I suppose thanks to his expensive legal representation.

Society has an undisputed right to be fully informed of alleged sexual assault allegations made against this individual, irrespective of his perceived status.

How dare the court treat this particular individual differently than any other alleged sex offender?
