Would you object to being reported to the police as perpetrator of a crime?

I was commenting before on one denomination handling an abuse investigation badly, but those on the other side of the case can also step into the bounds of absurdity. Witness here a comment by Brent Detwiler:

If a suspected offender ... is innocent, he won’t mind being reported to law enforcement.

Do you think Mr. Detwiler would mind if someone were to report him to the police as a rapist? I'd imagine so. You should in generally always expect someone to mind if you report them to the police as the perpetrator of some crime. If the evidence is there you may still need to report them, but it seems absurd to argue that they won't mind.

This applies particular to rape investigations, as to a certain extent in such cases you lose simply by being accused. It's the reason why in the UK in recent years anonymity for those accused of rape has been a subject of public debate.

It also doesn't account for the inevitable failures of justice. In any of the world's legal systems, whatever the set of laws and whatever judicial authorities involved, sometimes the innocent are punished and sometimes the guilty go free. The only thing that we can hope to do here is minimize this, not eliminate it.
