I cheated but did I deserve this?

Do you mean that she can sue under Harrassment?

Isn't 'course of conduct' a continuing saga of problem on two or more occasions?

'Course of conduct' means that there must be at least two seperate instances where harassment was caused and the offender knew (or ought to have known) that their behaviour was causing harassment.

And the Harrassment Act 1979 was specifically drawn up to tackle stalking problem.

I'm afraid she can't really sue under Harrassment.

Edit : Harrassment Act 1997

This is clearly a misinterpretation of the law and the cases.

Did I misrepresent the law or did you misunderstand the law?

The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (c 40) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which, among other things, criminalises and creates a right to protection from stalking and persistent bullying in the workplace.

The important part, as you highlighted, is "course of conduct". This means that there must be at least two seperate instances where harassment was caused and the offender knew (or ought to have known) that their behaviour was causing harassment.

It is so annoying, TSR can't give people negative rep anymore ! This isn't Funny !!

Not getting the whole "You broke his trust so he broke yours. Get over it" line.

So every breach of trust is on the same level?

Ok, you promised me you'd arrive to our date on time tonight as you're always late. You broke that promise and therefore my trust. I'm going to sleep with your brother as a means of breaking yours in return.

Any fool can see that's nonsense.

That breach of trust may have meant a lot to him

Enough to print and distribute photos inciting rape and abuse? Enough to not only hurt her, but her family as well? Come on. If he'd given it a week or two to think about it he would never have done that - unless he has problems.

1) She sent him nudes, which was stupid to begin with
2) She cheated
3) Her whole family knows what she is now

She shouldn't have taken the pics in the first place. That being said, she can go to the police regarding the rape/abuse messages. And her family got hurt by the truth? Can't really complain there.

But that doesn't mean that her actions warranted his. Just because you trust someone with a possession doesn't mean they should be able to distribute it or damage it.

In some cases, I'm inclined to side with the victim but his antion do appear to be extreme. I do question the character of someone who'd send nude shots of a person's grandchild to them.

Btw, I'm not saying this as he's a guy/ I've no such prejudice. If the roles were reversed, I'd say the same thing.

What's wrong with your partner having nude photos? That kind of stuff should be kept PRIVATE though which you'd expect from a relationship.

Do you honestly believe that public humiliation and threatening insults "rape me " is a fair punishment for a kiss?

It might not be, I said potentially. It's nearly impossible to get images removed from the internet, and once they find their way on to porn/adult dating sites as advertisement/content you're practically buggered. You can ask to take it down, and they might, but it will almost certainly pop up in several other places. You don't think this revenge is completely out of proportion? Hurting her family as well?

Call the police. Sue him.

Oh wow I know he should be upset but that's gone too far. OP he's breaking the law by sending pics of you around without your permission. Get the police involved

What is purported to be the purpose of the act does not in fact appear in the legislation. You need to read the case law.
