The Island's Home Affairs minister says it's wrong young people can be named in the media after committing crimes and appearing in court.
Bill Malarkey MHK says a planned law change will mean 17 year olds will no longer appear in adult courts.
Instead, those under 18 will be tried as juveniles - in line with England and Wales - and so won't be able to be identified unless a court allows it.
It would mean offenders such as Callum Joseph Quaggan - who was sentenced this week after admitting having sex with a 13 year old girl - couldn't be identified by the media.
Mr Malarkey says the disparity between UK and Manx law is wrong:
Dates announced for new format of cycling event
Minister can't say about specifics of bail breaches
Government income from nursing care placements rises
Tyson Fury's move to Island confirmed
Students invited to apply for paid summer placements
Heritage body's land totals thousands of acres
Key windfarm meeting delayed
13 arrested in drink-drive campaign
