Rape Victim Sues Over MySpace Post

Maxine Bernstein writes on The Oregonian:

The victim of a sexual assault in Southeast Portland has filed a lawsuit against a local ambulance paramedic who posted details about the crime on his MySpace Internet page.

The victim argues the paramedic invaded her privacy by posting the approximate location where the assault occurred, what she said about her knife-wielding assailant and the suspect's description.

The posting led TV reporters to knock on the woman's door, prompted neighborhood reconnaissance and may have impeded the police investigation into the assault, the lawsuit contends.
