A victims' advocate says a Supreme Court hearing about name suppression on Thursday could set an important precedent.
The case centres around a man who pleaded guilty to sexual offending against six people while he was aged between 14 and 17.
His requests for permanent name suppression - driven by concerns for his mental health and personal safety - were denied in lower courts.
A woman connected to him was granted suppression, but she argues the man's name needs to be suppressed as well, to fully protect her.
Three of the man's victims, who waived their rights to automatic name suppression, want the offender named.
Victims' advocate Ruth Money spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
