I think all of these question might be answerd by traditional libel and defamation laws rather than right to be forgotten. In Germany it seems that your hypothetical rape victim could go to jail: > Criminal Code (StGB) - Section 186 - Defamation > Anyone who asserts or disseminates a fact in relation to another which is likely to make him despicable or belittled in public opinion shall, unless this fact is demonstrably true, be punished with imprisonment for up to one year or with a fine and, if the act is committed publicly, in a meeting or by disseminating content (Section 11 (3)) is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine.

[these are basically civil authorities and the elderly] > III - If the accused was absolved through an unappealable decision, even if the crime can be charged by public action.

(my translation) Note that "public action" means that the government can file the criminal charges even without the victims consent and "private action" means that the victim or their family has the sole power to charge the accused and has to the work of prosection. The "public action through represenation" is the case when the goverment does the prosecution but only at the victim's request. Note that these laws are probably full of complicated jurisprudence creating exceptions for cases of public relevance and for "desabafo" (venting).
