Mr. Tom O'Malley:

To be honest, I could not answer the last part of the question with confidence because I do not know. It varies a great deal from one jurisdiction to another and, indeed, from one situation to another. The Deputy may be right in the way he phrased this. It may not be inevitably necessary to name the perpetrator but, in some cases, it may be because the woman has gone to the police. One of the best ways the police can be assured of the truth of her statement is to ask who did it. There is a possibility, therefore, that a person will be named but that does not mean to say that the name ever has to be revealed.
