My soon to be ex wife, got I to my Google account (which backs up all pictures taken with my phone) and found pictures of my infidelity. She is threatening to put these pictures online. I told her that it was illegal, but she insists that it's happening anyway, and refuses to delete the pics she now downloaded to her hard drive.
What can I do?

Civil and criminal law all across this nation takes no notice of the behavior you refer to as "infidelity".
I am not saying infidelity is right.
I am saying infidelity isn't illegal.

The picture you alleged to have possessed are entirely legal, as long as those depicted in them are consenting adults.
That said, its often unwise to choose to capture certain events that you (or others) might later find to be embarrassing.

There is very little that can be done now.
The bell has been rung, the barn has been burglarized, and the animals are running amok.
This is an example of technology growing faster than our legal system can keep up with it.
Add to that, rampant identity theft, online scams, and other crimes related to technology; society either doesn't care, or has limited resources with which to fight certain lesser crimes.

You can start by reporting the matter to your local police seeking their guidance on what options are available to you in your state.
As with most things, the law varies by jurisdiction.

You can consult a local attorney and see if he or she can offer you a remedy.

I often take the path of least resistance that produces the quickest, greatest result.

In most situations that is to ignore behaviors that I find vexing, disturbing, threatening, or disgusting.

The behavior of your former spouse in waiting certainly qualifies.

If you IGNORE certain behaviors, the actor fails to receive his or her required reward.

I've learned in my many roles of life, it works!

Psychology 101 teaches us about stimulus-response.

These threads offer a deeper insight into "conditioning", as concerns stimulus-response, ultimately seeking the extinction of undesired behaviors.
