Actually, I don't know that it would be totally necessary for House to have been naked for the ice baths. I mean, so what if his clothes got wet, you know? They'd dry. And angry people [angry parents] don't always plan ahead too carefully anyway.
And even if he WAS naked, it's possible to have stripped-and-dumped-in-a-tub-of-water as part of a physical punishment without sexual abuse being involved. For example: dumping the kid in a hot bath just to sensitize their skin for further slapping.

Just saying.
