Guilty until proven innocent

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

This was only a matter of time ... This is what stood out to me in the article:

Kevin Parisi is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and barely weighs 120 pounds.
He’s hunched over and walking with a cane after back surgery earlier this year. He suffers from severe anxiety and digestive disorders, along with extreme allergies and panic attacks.
But in his junior year at Drew University in Madison, N.J., Parisi was accused of forcing a fellow student — one who is now a professional athlete — to have sex with him.
He was kicked off campus and placed under investigation. Three months went by before he was found "not responsible" in a campus disciplinary proceeding. Local police never filed charges against him.
Being accused, however, was enough to cause his world to collapse. Now he is suing Drew for assuming he was guilty from the outset and treating him as such until it was determined he was innocent.
He is also suing his accuser and her boyfriend at the time, claiming they concocted the false allegation to preserve their relationship. The Washington Examiner has chosen not to publish their names.

I'd like more of an explanation as to why?
I am aware of the AP policy (which I oppose). And while this suit pertains to an alleged sexual assault, this man was never charged and he's suing - which could lead one to think the "victim," who is not being named is making it up.
This man's name is out there. I think he's one who's being publicly - and unfairly - harmed by this.

I guess, if the Examiner wanted to be fair, why not withhold Parisi's ID as well? After all, he was never charged with anything - aside from accusations. So he's innocent. Shouldn't his name be withheld as well - in all fairness?

I think the decision to not identify the woman reinforces the Guilty Until Innocent stigma. To me, it says the paper thinks Parisi has enough facts that his suit has merit, and is worth a story, but its not strong enough to convince the editorial board that the woman and her boyfriend are lying, so ... we are going to protect them instead of just reporting the facts. This is our judgement.

Getting off my soapbox now.

I thought it was going to be about accusations of PED use.
