The revised Criminal Procedure Law, which stipulates the protection of information on victims of sexual crimes, etc., came into effect on the 15th, and when an arrest or indictment is made, criminal proceedings are carried out without disclosing the victim's name to the suspect or defendant. You will be able to proceed.
In principle, arrest warrants and indictments must include the victim's name, but 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 revised Criminal Procedure Law went into effect on the 15th, and in cases of sexual crimes or cases where the victim is likely to be harmed, if a judge or prosecutor deems it necessary, the name of the victim must be listed. By showing the suspect or defendant an excerpt of the missing arrest warrant or indictment, criminal proceedings can proceed.
In principle, the name of the victim is provided to the lawyer on the condition that the defendant is not informed, but if there is a risk that the victim's livelihood may be threatened, the lawyer may also be informed of the victim's name. It is said that identifying information can be kept secret.
On the other hand, 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 and other information will be notified, as this would undermine the defendant's right to defend.
