So said the lawyer for Quinten Hann, the snooker player who was acquitted two weeks ago of raping a woman he met while 'out on the town' in October 2001.
His lawyer could claim Hann as the victim because, while both rape complainants and defendants were granted anonymity in 1976 by the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act, the Criminal Justice Act of 1988 retained it exclusively for complainants.
Hann's lawyer also noted that a celebrity like Hann is exposed to a greater risk of false allegation than ordinary members of the public, and that the consequences are far more damaging, regardless of the final outcome.

Quinten Hann's last trip to the Crucible ended after just 14 frames, but the fallout from his defeat to Andy Hicks ended in a Bethnal Green boxing ring some two months later.
The frustrating thing is that when he is in form he is capable of sublime shots, yet all too often he will produce the ridiculous - conceding frames with five or six reds still on the table or smashing open the pack with his break.
Hann is yet to pass the second round in a ranking tournament this season and his progress may well come down to how he keeps his emotions in check, particularly with what promises to be a fiery encounter against Peter Ebdon first up.
