A child pornography victim has been granted judicial permission to withhold her name in a lawsuit.
In the case of Doe v. Oshrin, the victim will be allowed to pursue civil remedies while maintaining her anonymity. The decision to allow the victim to shield her identity was handed down in federal court by U.S. Magistrate Judge Ann Marie Donio.
The civil suit follows on the heels of a criminal trial in which the defendant was found guilty of producing child pornography.
The defendant, who hailed from Budd Lake, NJ, was accused of installing hidden cameras in his home and filming nine young girls as they undressed, showered, and used the bathroom. According to prosecutors, the defendant then spread the videos on the Internet.
In order to protect the underage victim against being victimized in the future, her identity in the civil suit will be shielded from the public. According to the report, the victim’s identity will be designated as “Attorney’s Eyes Only.”
