My hypothetical rape dungeon is private property, too. I would expect my right to privacy is trumped by the general public's right to not have horrifying crimes committed.

If you run an operation like this and someone blows a whistle, they should be legally protected, not prosecuted.

If I stumbled upon you committing a crime in your rape dungeon, recorded and made videos of it public, I would fully expect negative consequences to come my way. For one, the victim probably doesn't want those images shown to others. It seems to me that the more logical course of action would be to report you to the police and let them deal with it, not try to shame you in public.

The victims in this case are cows.

And, more often than not, the owners who happened to hire a bad employee. Sure, there should be repercussions for the choice to hire the person, but realize it is not always obvious who is bad without hindsight. It is embarrassing to have hired a programmer who botches your application, and it is equally embarrassing to have hired a farmhand that abuses your animals.

I wonder how Google/Facebook/Microsoft would react if people started posting videos of people writing bad code while on the job?
