Q: I want to know if this friend has any legal rights against her boyfriend's actions below?

An Indonesian friend living in California is in a relationship with an Indonesian man, also in CA. They decided to make some steamy videos together. The boyfriend shared and sent these videos to their friends, even though they are still together and she never consented. Those friends have sent and shared the videos to even more people. Is there any legal action she can take against her boyfriend for what he has done?
