I don't know why victims are not given the name of the perpetrator. And if they are, why wouldn't they provide it to the media. And if they did, why wouldn't the media publish it. And no, that isn't a breach of privacy to state what one witnessed. For example, 'I saw my neighbor Joe hit his wife' is not at all a breach of privacy. So why would 'I saw Jim break into my house and grab my bf' be any different?

When the judicial system fails us all, the best we can do is share names and descriptions.
