The Canadian law states that the identity of a victim of a sexual offence "shall not be published in any document or broadcast or transmitted in any way".

Plenty of times issues are fought in court over exactly what is meant by those terms.  In my annotated Criminal Code there are no cases that discuss exactly what is meant by those terms, but I'm sure if I searched I could find some.
