he told the local police he did it
That's fine then, problem solved. No need to ask folk here if you have professional assistance already :smile:
Ask the police that are already involved and not strangers on the internet who have no idea where you even live to say what the law says or what actually is going on.

This thread isn’t very believable Anna.
I'm very sure this happened.

You have professional assistance already.

Remember you can only take people to court for things that actually happened, not made up stuff.
How is that illegal, unless you were naked ?

It’s not illegal to take photos / videos of people without their consent ?
If you were indecent and he took pictures of you without consent, you may be able to prosecute under voyeurism. But this also depends on the law where you live.

Why did your neighbour take the picture? Did you talk to him about it?
