Re the bolded: Even if Jake knows that Sam will then beat up Tom, and that was Jake's reason for telling him?
That would depend on the applicable state law, and of course the state's ability to prove that Jake's reason was to incite Sam to beat up Tom. But in general the Supreme Court has held that free speech rights even applies to statements that might provoke a mob, as long as the speaker is not urging the crowd to commit imminent violence against others.

Why is Tom, who is a lawyer, at a bus stop associating with such riff-raff? If he had been riding safely in the back of his chauffeur driven limousine, paid for by well earned client fees, none of this would have happened.
If you truly think that most successful lawyers make enough to afford chauffer driven limosines then you truly don't know much about how much most lawyers make. On average, lawyers earn less than doctors, and you don't see may doctors rolling around in limos. Whatever you think of lawyers, at least get your facts right.

I read that reporters voluntarily do not publish the names of rape victims, but does that mean they could do so if they wanted to?
Yes, the media could report the names of rape victims if they wished. It is not illegal to do so, and a law making that illegal would run into First Amendment problems.
