Media outlets deny breaching children's rights in sex-case reports
Three media outlets have denied that the constitutional right to privacy and right of anonymity of two young victims of sexual abuse was breached in reports they carried about the conviction of the children's attacker.
The two who were abused by a male, who more than two years ago admitted to charges of rape and sexual assault against the two, claim that their identification had a catastrophic effect on them which resulted in them having to leave their home. The High Court has ruled that the two children in question cannot be identified for legal reasons.
