Papers can, and do, challenge reporting restrictions if they think there is a good reason to do so. <br /><br />If the false-complainant is a minor, she could automatically be covered by other codes of practice about reporting their identity which may not be law in themselves but could give rise to civil action against the paper. As the paper was very anxious to emphasize that they did not name her, this is quite a high possibility. <br /><br />Another reason the CPS might have decided not to press charges is that there was no public interest in doing so. E.g. special-needs student walking home becomes confused as to what really did happen. However, neither the paper nor the CPS nor the police want the person identified as no useful purpose is served by doing so and might put the complainant at real risk. <br /><br />Papers do deals all the time with the police and CPS; if they didn't they'd have to give out colouring pencils and tell the readers to fill in the white spaces. <br /><br />In this case the public are told what they need to know: there is no rapist.Woman on a Rafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897415591130901416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-29618451889347222732011-03-02T16:22:21.681+00:002011-03-02T16:22:21.681+00:00her father, the accused, stood by her in court to ...her father, the accused, stood by her in court to plead that she was not sent to prison.
