Yes, in Europe, where there are weak/no legal speech protections. And already politicians have abused it to remove compromising political info. http://www.bbc.

  This is a appears to be a different issue. People asking to have search results removed that relate to their previous publications or lawfully public information about themselves is not the same as victims of sexual abuse enduring ongoing trauma from the proliferation of images of their abuse, which were not made consensually or legally. A bit of a false equivalency.

  Most of these laws have provisions that explicitly exclude individuals or issues of public interest from being deleted. That people might still try to use the laws for such cases is then not a fault of the laws but rather due to eg companies like Google not being able to/not trying to/not wanting to invest enough to do due diligence.
