FlagAfter a night out my bf took me to his house and took photos of me performing sexual acts. He txt me today that he still had them after i deleted it from his phone the day after and now he said he had them and he email them. What can I do?
The answer depends on whether you are still on good terms with the gentleman that has the pictures. If you deleted them, how are you sure that he still has them? Is it possible he is lying to you?
You may have a number of criminal (speaking to a prosecutor) or civil (speaking to an attorney) remedies in Illinois depending on the facts of who took the pictures and under what circumstances they were taken. If you choose to act by speaking with the police or with an attorney the ramifications for the person who allegedly has possession of the photographs could be severe. I would recommend seeing what becomes of the situation first. Then you potentially may have legal options.
