Why hide identity?
Letter to the Editor
by Len Fulton, Dallington

I congratulate the lady who stood up in the High Court recently and recounted her tale of rape and sodomy by a local businessman. This must have taken a lot of soul- searching and fortitude on her part. I congratulate members of the jury who believed her.

The only mystery is why the name suppression continued after the offender had been convicted? Sodomy and rape are serious crimes. Surely the public has a right to know the identity of this man. What has happened to justice?
