internet question

what could/should I do if I suspect my spouse has posted nude photos of me on the internet without my permission?

The key here is 'suspected'. Without any specific proof, there is little that you can legally do.

However, if you will send me some of the photo's, be assured, I will make every reasonable effort to look around the internet to see if I can help prove your suspicions. (Sorry, couldn't let that one go by me <grin>. My email address is in my signature line).

First you need to find them..
Then post the link here so we can see if you have a case.

Hey, LegalB, I was in line first!!! No cutting!!

This was a serious inquiry. Let's suppose I have the proof. What are my options?

My response:

I don't believe you have a Cause of Action.

During a marriage, there is a rebuttable presumption that each spouse has permission from the other to do things during the marriage that involves the other; e.g., enter in contracts, or to even post photos. The things done by either spouse during marriage are presumed to be for the benefit of the marriage - - no matter how distainful they might be later to one of the parties, or to third persons.

Of course, one of the objects of marriage is not to cause embarrassment to the other; i.e., to be a partner for the betterment of the relationship. But, that presumption is always there, and you'll have a "hard row to hoe" to prove that you didn't give him, at least, tacit or implied approval. The presumption can be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence.

Maybe you can't do anything legally, but you could always post his naked pictures on the internet as your way of saying 'thanks.'

You might take particular joy in how a Brit got even with her boyfriend....

I had looked at them when they first came out and couldn't stop laughing. Just couldn't find the link to them.... thanks. Makes me laugh anew!!!
What a wanker!!

What a wanker!!

I *always* knew you had 'alien' blood running through your veins!!

I liked the captions. I also liked imagining his humiliation.

Damn, got me figured out, huh???
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus!

Still waiting for those 'proof' pictures.... if need be, you can send them to me by private email (see below for my address). Trust me, NO ONE else will see them! (wonder how long I should wait!)

 

[broknhartd]

Thanks for the laugh!

Smithy: That would be no revenge, as he probably posted his own (in the context of the internet, he's quite proud of himself).

Halket: Give it up--you're not gettin' 'em.

I am always liable: Thanks for the comments. If ignorance is bliss, maybe I'm better off not knowing for sure.

broknhartd:

Thank you for not taking offense at our attempts at humor (weak at best) for what I know is a serious problem for you. Your response is both refreshing and unusual for this forum!! Thank you.

Seriously, I would suggest that you and your spouse sit down one evening, maybe over a nice Chardonnay, and have a talk about this possibility.
