Can someone post pictures online they took of me and my home without my permission?

[shanamave]

Okay so long and short of it. My husband was an idiot and cheated on me, in my house, in MY bed. FYI_ he and I are working things out with counsling. But this inconsiderate woman has posted pictures she took of the two of them together, her in my bed, anniversary gifts my husband gave to me, her in my car (which she had no permission to drive), I have VERY NICELY asked her to remove them. Do I have any legal recourse (don't wanna sue her, just want those pictures down) with my husband and I's involvement in the church and him working for a a family run family values company this is not only painful for me to see, but could potentially get him in trouble. Would this fall under privacy rights or defamation of character?

[chriscityd]

I did.

Leave your husband! And forget about the psycho lady.

[PeterP]

Sue her and dump your husband. Once a cheater always a cheater.

[collegestudent]

she has the copyright to the pictures, even though they have your stuff in them, and unfortunately can do whatever she wants with them, but I'd ask an attorney, you may have some kind of legal recourse since it would potentially affect your husband's job. What a loser she is.

[purpleeyes]

yes they can the only thing u can really do is click on the picture and under the pic it say to report this photo stolen

[Marina9741]

The pictures aren't of you---they're of your bed and your car. I don't understand why you're worried about people seeing them---how would anyone know that it's your bed and your car she's sitting in? The photos of her and your husband---as long as they aren't nude photos, I don't think there is anything that can be done about it legally. They're just pictures of your hubbby and some woman---not of them doing the deed, right? You could contact a lawyer and ask this question. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I really don't understand how you can be trying to work things out with your husband. He's a creep!

[NikkiE2044]

Well this one could be tricky. Unless she is threatening you, she can place those pics on the net or her own web site. I would threaten her with a civil law suit and see if that helps. I can understand your pain. I'm sorry that she is doing this to you, but don't let her get the best of you. Good luck to you and your hubby.

[justcurious9500]

No, unfortunately the way things are today with posting pictures all over facebook, myspace and a trillion other areas you have no legal right to say anything unless they are nudes of you.

[calliaupnorth]

Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of enforceable laws involving the internet. But you shouldn't feel embarrassed. You did nothing wrong. If it continues to bother you get a lawyer to writer her a letter. Maybe you could have her charged for using your car without your permission since you have proof. Or at least hold that over her is she doesn't remove the pictures.

[daven]

There is no expected right to privacy since your husband allowed her access to these places. There is no defamation of character since well, since your husband had an affair with her and now she has the pictures which apparently he allowed her to take. Unless you are prepared to go to court or persue some other legal actions you have to hope she will remove the pictures on her own. And if he is still working for a family values company, he should count himself lucky he still has the job. If he loses it he cant totally blame her, it does after all take two to tango.

[dolphyns2000]

I think you may have to sue her, honestly. Not long ago, my husband caught some random guy in a parking lot with a digital camera attempting to take a picture of me as I walked up some stairs. He confronted him and got to the bottom of it, but the next day, I asked my boss (an attorney) if it was legal to take pictures like that without someone's knowledge. It's not, so I can't imagine that these picture that this woman has posted online would be any different. It's not exactly the same situation, but close enough to be cousins, ya know? I would definitely contact an attorney, but I believe that it would fall under the privacy issue.

[camille462]

hey depends on if its effecting your life you can sue her for emotional distress public humiliation but they can the net is free an open to anything just make a copy of it for when ya take her ass to court so when your before the judge an she trys to say i don't know what pictures she taking about say i have them here get the site she posting it on her name she use an everything else sue her she wasn't thinking about you when she was fucking ya husband don't know why your back with him but sue woman sue

[angelic1302]

ok so who knows that's all your stuff right? Aren't all these things material? I would demand you to stop it right now and look at the whole situation...ok so you took him back so here's what you do next...By trying to get her to take things down and stuff, you are bringing that negativity back into your home...Just forget about the whole thing...First, redecorate your home(buy a new comfort set, put different pictures/paintings up), change your interior of your car if you can( I suggest new seat covers or just something simple like a new air freshener or something new dangling on the rear view mirror), Just ignore her and the damage that she's done if you really want to move on with your relationship otherwise, she will not go away and your relationship will sink deeper. Do these things and everything will be ok...

[fight1985]

I don't know but if he did all that then he doesn't deserve to work for a company that holds strong family values because now not only is he a cheater but a liar too. I think it should be branded on his forhead.

[CorrineB4244]

I know by hating her it makes it easier to forgive your husband. But you need to look at the position that HE put you in now. Is this fair? This is why it's not a good idea to try to reconcile once a person has an affair. Look at all the drama.

[harold]

Yes they can, and you can't stop them. With all the places like my space face book and others, you will have a hard time finding all the places to post a picture. Even when you find them, they are pictures of her, not you, so you have no rights to them. Even pictures taken in you home, bed or car as long as she is in the picture, they are hers . Again they are pictures of her, so you have no say on the matter. Sorry your husband got hooked up with a nut case.

[flagger_guy]

As this would be his problem I would make him fix it.If he is working for a "family values" firm, I feel compelled to ask: WHAT WAS HE DOING F'ing AROUND IN YOUR BED? Darlin', I appreciate your effort to maintain your marriage, but I really think you are married to a hypocritical LYING S.O.B.Is your life really long enough to put up with this type of individual. I have a real problem with people who work in churches andprofess family values yet participate in the most deplorable life styles when they think no one is looking. Cameras are such a wonderful thing for exposing hypocrisy.
