abstract="This Act amends the Sexual Offences Act 1956 to 1976 of the UK to extend to the victims of sexual offenses the principle of statutory anonymity now applied to victims of rape. Under this principle, if an allegation of a sexual offense has been made, the name, address, and picture (moving or still) of a victim may not be published during that person's lifetime if such publication is likely to lead members of the public to identify that person. If a person has been accused of the offense, the prohibition extends to any matter that is likely to lead to the identification of the alleged victim. The Act authorizes a court to make an exception to this prohibition if a) publication might induce witnesses to come forward; or b) the court is satisfied that the prohibition is unduly restrictive and it would be in the public interest to remove it. Further provisions of the Act deal with the sexual offenses that are covered by the Act, anonymity in cases involving incest or buggery where there may be no victim, and criminal sanctions, among other things.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
