Prosecutors are not going to put out anonymizes lists of all of their child abuse cases so people can comb through and try to identify who the cases might be about. And especially would not put out information about cases that might have resulted in pregnancy because it would be a huge violation of the victim if someone were able to identify them based on the released information. |
One of you stated, “If there are so many cases of this like they want us to believe, why use a fake case. Why not just use a real example.” Please explain how it would be possible to use a “real example.” |
If the dr can discuss a fake case and pass it off as real and that is okay, then it follows that an actually real case would be okay. It doesnt make any sense that the story about this fake 10 year old would be fine if privacy were an insurmountable obstacle to sharing information about cases with the media. |
You don't need to "put out information" about a case to acknowledge that it exists, or that an investigation has been launched. This story, if it is real, reports a crime. It is not out of line to ask what is being done about the crime. There has to be some way to confirm the facts as reported in the story. |
It sounds like you immediately understood the story of the 10 year old to be fake, then, because it would have been a "huge violation" of her privacy to have the dr announce it on the news. |
What’s HIPPA? |
Doctors generally are not in the business of broadcasting information about individual patients to the media, even anonymously. Would you be comfortable going to a doctor who did this? The Indiana doctor is not some fringed wacko with nothing to lose here. She is a professor at the University of Indiana medical school, and presumably will be subject to an inquiry if there are any questions on the part of the medial school about the validity of her story. If nothing happens to her there, that strongly suggests the university has grounds to believe the account is true. |
Doctors can share information about patients as long as they do so in a way that does not disclose identifying information. Doctors do this all the time when they present case studies at conferences and in instructional contexts. |
You don’t understand the privacy laws on this. Perhaps educate yourself before you spout off so you don’t look like a fool. |
No, Nancy Drew, the story unfortunately is true. The rapist has been arrested. The Ohio AG, the right-wing media jackals, the forced birth crowd -- YOU WERE ALL WRONG. You wrongly accused a respected physician of lying. And, yes, a little girl was forced to travel to another state so she didn't have to go through a pregnancy and bear her rapist's child. YOUR CRAZY IDEAS HAVE CAUSED A LITTLE CHILD EVEN MORE PAIN. F YOU. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/07/13/columbus-man-charged-rape-10-year-old-led-abortion-in-indiana/10046625002/

It’s in the link/tweet I responding to. Contrary to his claims, most cases like this would not have rape kits because that would require reporting very shortly after an incident of assault occurred since the window for a rape kit is so narrow. The doctor here would have seen this girl more than two weeks after she conceived, so even if the case were reported and there was an investigation, there would be no rape kit collection unless the girl had coincidentally been raped again within a couple of days before investigators sought the kit to allow for a valid collection. So the AG was lying when he said you would expect there to be a rape kit in this case if it were reported. Odds are there would not be. |
JFC. The jackals here who were dancing on "IT'S A LIE" should all apologize.

I'm really glad this information was published, and that's exactly what people have been asking for. So as you see, it is in fact possible to confirm the facts and truth of the case without disclosing the identity of the victim. |
