Tinia, I also think (and I am not a lawyer) that her name was published because it's a civil suit.
In my limited knowledge of the law, which is basically Night Court, LA Law, and Law & Order, a plaintiff in a civil suit might not have a right to privacy.
Also (and finally) I don't think even if it was a criminal case that the media HAS to keep the identity of the victim secret, but most of them do to be nice.
