hi ,
i recieved an email this morning from a person who threatented
to disclose personal information on public forums... / photos (he claims nude) / documatation with regards to my personal life. i have no idea really as to what content, if any he actually has in his possession. i do know that i would not want any kind of
data like that in the hands of the common public.
any information/phots/documentaion he may have is also
without my knowledge or consent...i kinda feel stalked at
this point and incredibly angry.
he is a moderator on the forum he is threatenting to post this
info on and also from austraila...i am in the USA.
my questions are:
1. is it legal?
2. under what law/subject would it classified (ie. stalking/defamation/libel/just general creepiness)?
3. what can i do if he actually has and publishes this data?
4. what legal agency would address this type of crime (if any crime is defined)?
my first inclination is to call his bluff and consequenses be damned. i detest bullies and persons of this character. but
i want to arm myself with as much knowledge as i possibly
can before i make a move that could very well cause me
considerable discomfort and hurt me both publically and
privately.
thank you for time and attention.
