Tough question. I would say name neither. I personally think the trial section of Western justice systems has gotten WAY too public. Quite honestly, things like this can spell disaster for a person even if they are exonerated (people will crucify an accused pedophile during a trial, for example.) I would say, if it is a matter of public safety, tell us the name of the convicted after the trial. Otherwise, why should something like an arrest (read not conviction) be broadcast to everyone important to the person.

I am personally totally against revealing the name of the victim. We have enough trouble with rape victims, beaten wives, etc. coming forward. The defence should be able to rip her apart on the stand, and quite honestly, put her entire life at trial if they so desire, but not in public.

Again, we don't need to know about a trial, so why put anyone involved all over the news? They're innocent till proven guilty, remember...
