性犯罪被害者情報を秘匿　氏名住所など、刑事手続きで―法制審答申

　性犯罪被害者の氏名など個人情報が加害者側に伝わることを防ぐため、法制審議会（法相の諮問機関）は１６日、起訴状や逮捕状にある被害者の氏名や住所を秘匿できる刑事訴訟法などの改正要綱を上川陽子法相に答申した。
　性犯罪の刑事手続きをめぐっては、逮捕状や起訴状に記載された被害者の個人情報を基に、加害者から報復を受ける可能性があるとして、法務省などが匿名化を検討してきた。
　答申を受けた上川法相は「改正法案の立案作業を開始する。速やかに国会に提出できるよう準備を進めていきたい」と述べた。（2021/09/16-21:47）

An advisory panel to Japanese Justice Minister Yoko Kamikawa proposed on Thursday law amendments aimed at preventing the names and other personal information of sex crime victims from being exposed to suspected offenders.
   In a report submitted to Kamikawa, the Legislative Council called for revising legislation including the criminal procedure law to conceal the names and home addresses of the victims written in arrest warrants or documents of indictment.
   The Justice Ministry and others have considered keeping personal information of sex crime victims secret as they could be revenged by the offenders.
   "We'll launch work on drawing up amendment bills. We want to proceed with preparations to submit (the bills) to parliament swiftly," Kamikawa said.
   According to an outline of proposed amendments submitted by the panel, personal information of the victims of crimes, including rape, indecent assault, child prostitution, child pornography, would become confidential.
