A Portland rape victim has sued a local ambulance paramedic who posted details about the crime on his MySpace Internet page.

She contends the paramedic invaded her privacy by posting details of the attack.

The lawsuit contends the posting led TV reporters to her door, prompted neighborhood reconnaissance and may have impeded the police investigation.

The suit names American Medical Response and paramedic Simon Green. Neither could be reached for comment yesterday.

The attack was February 15th. The posting was several days later.

In it, Green suggested victims fight off attackers or maybe carry a gun.

Portland police are still investigating the attack. They said Green did not break any laws. But a detective told Green the victim had an expectation of privacy while in the ambulance.

Green said he was only trying to "get the word out." The victim seeks economic and noneconomic damages.
