Australian newspapers are actually getting a bit creative in relation to this case due to the profile of the person.
On the day of the conviction, they released online articles about "suppression orders".

# Why the media is unable to report on a case that has generated huge interest online #
> A very high-profile figure was convicted on Tuesday of a serious crime, but we are unable to report their identity due to a suppression order.
> The person, whose case has attracted significant media attention, was convicted on the second attempt, after the jury in an earlier trial was unable to reach a verdict. They will be remanded when they return to court in February for sentencing.

The article then goes on about suppression orders and how Google Trends for the person's name increased on the day of the trial.
So anyone who is internet-savvy would be able to figure out who it was.

- enriquto 8y ago> So stupid these orders, trying to change the truth. These euphemisms are getting ridiculous. The person is cardinal George Pell, who has been convicted of sexual abuse (after an unanimous guilty verdict by the jury). He is the highest ranking member of the Catholic Church ever to be convicted as a sex offender.
- blm 8y agoThats funny. The Age makes it seem like the jury is remanded. Remand is for the alleged offender[1] [1] http://www.corrections.vic.gov.au/home/prison/remand/ http://www.corrections.vic.gov.au/home/prison/remand/
