Spurious allegations of rape
Where it transpires that a rape allegation is vexatious, why is the accuser guaranteed their anonymity? Also, why aren't charges brought for perjury?
After all, quite often the innocent accused has had his face plastered over the papers, and even when found not guilty, I think a certain amount of stigma will inevitably attach.

Not just in the minds of those who know the accused, who are probably thinking "No smoke without fire", but also on his police record - whether found not guilty, (or even if no charges were pressed in the first place), a note will always remain on his Police Record that he was the subject in an alleged rape.
This would have to be revealed in an Enhanced Disclosure search, (for example if he were to become a teacher and work with children), result? That's his career f***ed because of a spurious and malicious allegation.
