16. Huh? These restrictions in the law are expicitly to NOT protect the criminals.

You're completely misreading it. It does not say "a victim can't depict physical abuse that has gone on to harm a victim from one of these pedo perps". It says the DOJ can't publicly release pictures showing that abuse. The purpose of this is to protect the victims. Any evidence like that is perfectly permissable to be used as evidence against the criminals. (And the law requires them to explain all withheld information and all redactions so if there is any such evidence, the DOJ must say 'we withheld pictures of Victim X being abused by Perp Y - only with Perp Y being explicitly named - because it depicted physical abuse). And it's always been perfectly acceptable (and legal) for victims to publicly share any evidence they have against anyone.
