Oh dear lol....

So your secret is safe with me, dear

Oh dear lol....

That's polite from you.

If they have done it before then they will have a criminal record for that offence that will be available to view on the police national computer, and their names will certainly be in the media as a result of that conviction. If the victims have not come forward then this is the fault of the victims for not making their complaint to the police in the first place.
The remedy for the second point is to improve detection and prosecution rates with the police.

Excuse me? I reply to a message that is an obvious flirt/chat up. She is coming on to me and you accuse me of chauvinist behaviour? Odd. I think you have missed the casual undertone. Go back through the threads and see what a tedious flirt she is.

On the other hand, I am steadfastly, defending Sue Ellen and also the runner and also the unlucky woman. I would like to invite all three of them to my flat so that I could show them my helicopter. I can get so much speed going that I can lift a floppy fringe.

You have serious problems I suggest you seek therapy.

The reason they aren't given anonymity is in case they have done it before and their other victims haven't come forward.

(Or more likely a different police force/unit/officer ignored they were victims.)

Ooh - condescension and insults to Sue and the pedestrian in one thread.

Here's a male chauvinist troll in action.

Then apply to court to release their identity with the Police's proof. Let the Judges make the decision.

What a shame. How sad.

Re "no other suitable options at that moment"

It is hard to think there was any alternative to arrest at the time, given the flight risk and the seriousness of the charge.

What would be better would be if arrested, suspects could be given legal anonymity on arrest, with their identity only being revealed if charged and the case come to court. That way the public will continue to treat them as innocent until they have been proved or admit guilt.

Is that a statement of Intent?

Don't do it, just join mumsnet!

You have to be rich to afford to, or arrested so many times it's ridiculous e.g. Stephen Lawrence's friend that you get support to sue the Met.

They fight all cases until it's clear they will lose them before paying out.

he is rich.

In his position I would be wanting some of the below. I imagine the none financial ones.

...You aren't allowed to stop & search but you are allowed to go all 'Sweeny' on bankers. Get yer trousers on yer nicked...

Seems fair.
