In Britain, a woman accusing former Tory minister Mr Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine of sexual assault waived her right to anonymity today.
Ms Nadine Milroy-Sloan (27) told the News of the Worldshe was prepared to stand up and be counted.
"My life has been destroyed - and I want justice", she told the newspaper, which carried a picture of her on its front page.
The Hamiltons have vigorously rejected the college lecturer's allegations that they performed indecent acts as a man raped her at a flat in Ilford, Essex.
"We have used the last week...to produce the hard evidence which conclusively disproves the allegations of Ms Milroy-Sloan", Mr Hamilton told Skytelevision earlier today.
"There is nothing in the News of the World which harms or impairs the evidence which we brought out."
The Hamiltons said they had disclosed documents to the police about the use of their mobile phones and credit cards to show that they were nowhere near the flat in Ilford on the day in question.
The couple complained that while their names had been splashed across the media, their accuser had hidden behind the anonymity granted under British law to anyone alleging sexual assault.
