Lord Tim is gaol for raping his own daughter!

It's a two year old article with no names or identification.
How have you positively identified someone the media was not allowed to?
 
I see the other thread now.
Even so naming someone it suggests the media can't name may not be sensible, at least until there is a court case.
 
Someone on Reddit suggested the names are withheld to protect the victim, not the perpetrator.

I'd agree it's probably better to remove the name here.

Copy paste: "In Australia we have very strict laws about naming innocent parties involved and saying anything that would impact upon their privacy and wellbeing, so making an exact statement about one person and a series of crimes would undermine that, hence the very carefully worded statement above and also my comment here. But others here have already made those connections."

I think that's fairly common, in this country at least, and you can see why they do it.
The article that mentions the name is suppressed is two years old, but the FB post doesn't actually mention specifics either so it could still be under court order.
 
The court is all done and he was sentenced to 6 years the other day, hence why the band was finally able to make a statement. But yeah, there will be ongoing name suppression to protect the victim's identity. One thread about LORD here was probably enough.
 
Nothing really shocks me any more in this absurd existence, but then I got the news gradually - something serious enough to have halted the band, and then the prison rumour. I posted in the LORD section for 14 years until it was purged in mid-2023. It's baffling that someone so talented with music & production would throw that all away to be a numpty nonce.

It'd be nice if a few of you could stick around and get some other topics going here. Otherwise it sure is a fucked up epilogue for this forum section.
