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.
