Woman sues UF fraternity brothers for videotaping sexual encounter

[Senusret I]

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.

I think the names of minors and victims of some sex crimes are legally supposed to be protected.

I think you're right about minors.

Here's what wikipedia had to say about the "rape shield" as it relates to the media: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_sh..._media_outlets

Misdemeanor voyeurism is NOT a sex crime in FL.

If you read carefully, I deleted the post that linked to the wrong Lauren. If you have a problem with the wrong Lauren's Facebook link up there, ask my sister to edit/delete it.

And even if I didn't already delete it, I'd probably still have that up there just because you asked me to remove it. You should know by now that no on tells OTW what to do.

i just asked, i do not believe i told you to do anything. and perhaps i may have missed a deletion between the times i looked at this thread.

i agree with you. perhaps i failed to make the distinction between my very first thoughts on matter and my own follow through.
