Should they be named when actually charged or not until found guilty.

Difficult one because there is the arguement that by naming them others come forward.

On the other side of the coin if the accusation is false as you say careers and reputations can be ruined (I am not of course saying that the accusations in either case are necessarily false of course).
The MP wasn't named because the (alleged) victim has a right to privacy. If he was named it wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes to deduce her identity.
