Template talk:Victims of sexual offences UK

Background
This template was created because the Sub judice template no longer applies to the Forrest case, creating a situation where the victim's name is known but where UK editors need to be aware that they shouldn't publish her name. This Guardian piece gives a summary of the anonymity issue regarding the Forrest case and is what I used to create the template.

The relevant E&W laws are referenced in the template. The Show Geographical Extent option on those links shows, AFAIK, where those laws apply (either because they relate to the jurisdiction or because they've been accepted into the other jurisdictions via local law). So the CYPA1933 only applies to E&W whereas the SO(A)A1992 apparently relates to Scotland & NI.

The Scotland part of that is confirmed in this blog by Clydeside TV. That blog also says that naming victims of offences committed in Scotland when you're in E&W is allowed, but that seemed to be too much information to go into in the template. Bromley86 (talk) 11:28, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
