Q: Loss of job or damage due to sharing private information
if a person (or even a spouse) shares a my Adult site profile to my office boss and I am affected (either loose job or actioned), do I have a case to sue for losses and damages?
A: I regret that I do not handle family law matter or criminal privacy law cases. Sorry.
A: It is hard to say if that person would be liable for sharing your adult site, is the site public? Did the individual gain access to the site through illegal means (theft, computer theft, hacking)? There are also some statutes in Virginia that make the sharing of certain explicit images criminal (loosely termed "revenge porn statutes"). I advise you to consult with a Virginia attorney and give them more details about the nature of the violation by this other person.
