Wendy,

Do you have list of the victims' privacy rights that you refer to below?  I 
would be interested in seeing that.

prosecutors generally adopt a don't-ask/don't tell policy when it comes to 
private counseling records.  In 1993 I urged prosecutors to adopt such a 
policy and a few were reluctant, but now it is pretty much standard practice 
that prosecutors won't ask a victim about counseling.

there remains a problem in that victims sometimes report private information 
even if nobody asks - and once it gets into the police or prosecutor file, it 
is effectively fair game b/c it becomes part of the state's case.  We need 
better work in this area which is why I also teach the idea of "victims' 
privacy Miranda rights" which involves having someone, preferably the police, 
as soon as possible in the aftermath of the assault, advise the victim of her 
right NOT to answer any questions "not directly related to the investigation" 
that seek disclosure of personal or private information such as sexual past, 
prior abuse, conversations with therapist, doctor, lawyer, etc.
