I'm not sure what side I stand on. I do know that when my brother went to prison, my hometown (where he was currently living *not where his crimes were committed*, and where the rest of my entire family has lived for several decades, including aunt's/uncle's/grandparents/ect) posted a very long article in the newspaper listing my brothers full name, his crimes, his sentencing, and what state he was going to federal prison in

Now, my brothers a shit person, deserves all the hate for what he did, ect ect. BUT he's not the one who suffered because of it, because he got to run away from his shame by going to prison a month after it was posted. My family, especially my older sister who still lived there, are the ones who got pulled aside in the streets (it's a tiny town, where everyone knows everyone) and insulted and hated and placed in the same disgusting category he is and harrased and everything else. The hate my sister (a completely innocent person aside from sharing blood with a horrible person) was actually harrased so much that she up and moved several states away a couple months later because she couldn't deal with it anymore. And my parents are now in the process of moving away as well. By them posting it in the newspaper, it hurt my family during a time where they really didn't need it

Just another angle to add in that people might not know

Withholding the identity of those accused of rape.
