Man cleared of sex assault: Anonymity should be a right

A man cleared of sexual assault said his name should never have been made public and called for the law to be changed.

Speaking outside court, Eamon Power said the accused in sex assault cases should have the same right to anonymity as the alleged victim until they have been found guilty.

Mr Power, a 35-year-old from Limerick, was unanimously found not guilty of sexually assaulting a teenage girl after two hours of deliberation.
