Is this illegal?

Photos were posted of a friend of mines. But they were already on the Internet to begin with. They were just reposted. But taken down about an hour later Now she is threatening to press charges. Will the person who posted them be in any legal trouble?

On the basis of the facts available to us, the best answer I can give you is, maybe.

Photos of cute little puppies, kittens, beautiful flowers.
How can anyone get in trouble for posting pictures of cute puppies, furry kittens, and colorful flowers in bloom?

I love to look at beautiful flowers, don't you?

Depending upon what was done with them in that hour, whether or not permission was granted, and what harms the subject/photographer experienced as a result very well may result in legal troubles.
