Maybe? Are you part of management or do you own the company or the building?

My recommendation: hire a Florida attorney to discuss the issue, and write your former boyfriend a letter. If he is trying to obtain something from you under threat of releasing the photos, the local district attorney may also be interested and perhaps able to help.

Speak with an employment lawyer first. It is impossible to comment on your question with no facts. It could take hours to obtain them depending on how open the potential client is about sharing. No lawyer can help anyone unless they open up about all relevant history and facts.

The police will make a report, and you may be able to get an order or protection. Unfortunately, if the man lives in Croatia, the order won't have any effect on him unless he steps foot inside the jurisdiction. You could have a civil case, and try to force him to appear here.
