At the same time, having the victim's name plastered all over everywhere can't be good for them. Despite all the progress that's been made, we still live in a time where most victims would be blacklisted from the industry, despite nothing being their fault.

I think the reticence of victims of sexual assault being identified has more to do with the taboos around sex that still exist, at least in this country. The cult-of-virginity and inequitable attitudes toward sex that come largely from the Abrahamic religions. I think we'll eventually outgrow that.
You would be just shocked at the “cult of virginity” in places as far from Abrahamic traditions as Japan.
