I have a friend whose nudes leaked online a few weeks ago. Recently, they fell into the hands of a sick stalker (whose identity we don't know), who is now posting them on porn forums and Tumblr, and sending them out unsolicited to other women's Tumblr pages. He's discovered her real name, so we worry about the havoc he might wreak on her life.
We know about the DMCA copyright laws, and we've successfully removed his postings. But he's continuing to send them unsolicited to other people (on Tumblr, Twitter, etc.), often with her real name attached. Luckily, they've alerted her to this. We worry he may try to send them to family members or employers.
All we know for sure about this guy is that he lives in Ontario, Canada. His email address features a full name and birth year, but we're dubious it's his actual identity. My friend, however, lives in the Minnesota.
Is there a way to stop him? What legal protections do we have? And how are things complicated by the fact that she lives in the US, while he lives in Canada?
