Im going to assume you are being serious. I looked at the picture using my eyes.

Also why would the face be blocked if she was a consenting adult? The redactions were done reportedly to protect victims. Victims of child sexual abuse and trafficking.

I looked at the picture using my eyes.

Are you serious? You determined she's definitively <18 by looking at a photo of exclusively her body?

why would the face be blocked if she was a consenting adult?

You'd have to ask Pam Bondi. They redacted all sorts of things, with no explanation provided. It would be completely reasonable to block out the faces of any women who were not involved in any way.
