You can't always be transparent.

* Publicizing a victim's rape, or their names, without their consent is considered publicly shaming them. It's a very bad idea.

* Publicizing an accusation against someone that you can't substantiate, especially something very damaging to their reputation such as rape, could be slander. You could be sued (and rightfully so).

* Publicizing any private HR issues is also often illegal and/or wrong.
