(11,366 posts)and he did NOT violate HIPAA. He didn't tell where the girl lives, what her name is or any other identifiable information about the girl other than a vague age range - there are literally thousands of girls between the ages of 4 and 6 - I have one. He also didn't ID the girl by race, hair color, eye color or anything else - other than she is a little girl.
If you couldn't do that under HIPAA, there would be no releasable information regarding health studies.
FWIW, I also think you're wrong about why adult women participate in acts that many consider sexually unreasonable. Women are programmed from an early age that they MUST do certain things to gain the attention of men - and this programming in not relegated to only violent sexual abuse. You can see it on television everyday.
