Why does Canada not release the names of all charged and arrested sex offenders? This is true in several countries. In the US, an article such as this would name the man and state that he was accused of producing child *advertiser censored* involving a 7 year old. The child would not be named. He/she could be a relative, friend's child or neighbor. By not stating the victim's relationship to the man, the child's identity is protected. Surely there can be conjecture but I find that preferable to the community at large not knowing this man's name. If he's allowed out on bail, no one will know his pending charges. That bothers me.
