Is it illegal for someone to post pictures of you on the internet without your permission
Anonymous2 views3 answers
My ex boyfriend took nude pictures of me in a private place (home) a while back. I just broke up with him and he posted my pictures various places. I have found two sites to far. On one he posted naked pictures with my phone number and I have been getting calls and being harrassed non stop. On bodybuilding.com he posted a thread with pictures of me with my clothes on and there are conversations between him and guys where he was asked to post naked pictures of me and did, but now they have been removed. There is also a conversation where he is sending links to more pics of me in exhange for "green." Is this illegal? Is there anything I can do?

The cops are wrong and likely just do not know what to do and cannot be bothered trying to find out. The pictures may belong to your ex but posting them with your phone number is stalking. Try speaking with a local agency that handles domestic violence and/or stalking issues for some ideas.

As Mr. Levy stated it is a criminal matter and you can file a police report. It is also a invasion of your privacy and if he is letting viewers assume you are available for sex for money, it is defamation. You have the grounds for a civil suit for defamation and invasion of privacy. Make sure to download these so you will have proof in case they "disappear" from the web.You might find my legal guide on selecting and hiring a lawyer helpful.

Sounds like stalking to me, report it to the police and get a restraining order.
