Defendants Anonymity

I understand why people wrongly accused of child abuse want to change the law to have anonymity, but I don't think they should.
All of the people that are victims of abuse have had a injustice done against them, the ones that are brave enough to come forward are, in effect, on trail against their abuser. (They shouldn't be but I know I've been there)
Every single person that has been abused is innocent victims that did not asked to be abused and therefor when people are wrongly accused they are innocent victim too. It's not fair for anyone but there are victims on both sides.
Why should we have a system where it's ok for people to be a abuse victims but it's not acceptable for people to be wrongly accused.
Ok the people wrongly accused are a handful of innocent people who's lives are greatly affected but so are all of the thousands of abuse victims that live with their trauma for the rest of their lives too. 
You have to remember nobody asks to be abused!
Of course this is just my view and opinion on the subject.
