Revised Criminal Procedure Law comes into effect allowing victims of sexual crimes to keep their names confidential. In principle, arrest warrants and indictments must include the victim's name.
In cases such as sexual crimes, charges are not filed because the victim does not want the perpetrator, whom they do not know, to know their name. It was pointed out that there was a risk that the victim could be identified based on the information provided and suffer secondary damage. The law also includes a provision in which, if the defendant requests the court to reveal information and is granted the request, the defendant's name will be notified.
