Light legal help needed

Ok. So in December I had a very messy breakup with my bf. As part of the breakup, I found out that he was not only getting money from me, saying that he had none, but he had also started doing "online cam modeling." Pretty much getting paid to jack off for guys. He had asked me before about doing it and I told him that I was uncomfortable with it, especially since he wants to go into politics for a living.

Anyways, once I found the site I sent the link to his ex bf who I had gotten into a fight with during our relationship. His ex then posted the link to EVERYONE my ex interacted with publicly on Facebook. When he found out I had something to do with it he sent me this email. It basically said that he was going to go out of his way to make sure that my whole family found out that I was gay and that he hoped that my dad disowned me. He then said that he was going to post my naked pictures on Craigslist with my full name, address, and phone number.

I let it go without replying to that email and wasn't contacted by anyone and didn't show up on CL. THEN in early January I woke up to a text, nine emails, and a message on my Facebook in response to "my" CL ad. My mother wanted me to report it and take it to court for defamation of character, which I found out wouldn't get me anywhere.

To this day I am still getting Facebook messages and such. So my question is would he have anything on me if I sent a link of the page to his parents? Could they do anything to me? I feel like sending a link to an adult website in the mail to someone could get me in some kind of trouble. I don't know.

Thanks in advance.

The only thing that comes to mind is you can assert a copyright claim against said photos and send the sites a DCMA take-down notice. However, I don't quite know how copyright works with regards to self photos. However, if the big corporations can send take-down notices on material they don't own by 'mistake' I don't see how it could go wrong with you as you're acting in good faith.

Aside from that, give a call to your local bar association and see if they can put you in-touch with an attorney. I think a couple hundred bucks would be well-spent to get the proper advice you need.

I feel like if you do something to him again, he's going to do something to you.

He really can't do much to me anymore. Especially after his family finds out about his new source of income. i just wanted to find out if something could happen to me after doing this.

And the ad isn't there anymore. But I'm still getting emails from people who just don't get it.

You shouldn't get into a pissing match with a psychopath. You'll never win when you're dealing with someone who is crazy.

See a lawyer. Find out your options. At the very least, you may need a temporary restraining order.

THen start messing with them. Tell them to meet you places and don't show up. When they ask why you didn't show, say something silly like, "the gerbil got stuck and I had to go to the ER."

I'm confused why you sent his ad to his ex whom you had issues with anyway in the first place.

He was your boyfriend, the issues were between the two of you and were not his ex's business.

Playing tit for tat is kinda petty and pretty immature. You're not together anymore, I don't see either of you the victim here, be an adult an move on.

I was upset. I invested so much time and money (my mistake I know) into the relationship itself. Then to find out he was pretty much using me...that hurt. So yes, I sent the link of him jacking off for a bunch of guys to his ex and talked to his friend about it. Part out of anger but part of me was hoping that it would get him to stop. At that point I still really cared about the kid and didn't want to see him ruin his life. But now, me sending the link to his mom is me trying to get payback.

Stop it. Revenge means upping the ante until property or even life is damaged or destroyed.

I'm going to channel my father here. As much as I swore I'd never be like my parents, I find us more and more alike as time goes on.

Let it go. Don't give someone that much power over you.

I am feeling very unsympathetic here, to be honest. You were "upset" so you did something utterly immature, cruel and vindictive. He naturally got upset from that and one-upped you. Seems you were a good match :/

Also, how old are you if you were supporting him financially, but aren't out to your own father?!

I just turned 23. And don't judge me on the fact that I'm not out to my father. That's another thread and another topic that I don't tell certain members of my over religious family. Thanks.
