I don't think I (or probably most others here) have enough information to intelligently comment on that.

Is the family of the rape victim consenting to their image being used, or not? Is the picture and/or identity of the family widely broadcast in the media, or not? Is the picture portraying things in a particularly unique and politically important light (like the napalm girl picture), or not?

Edit: I see other people starting to bring in this sort of information now, but I don't think it's surprising that early comments are on the content of the article.
