another nude photos thread

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina
I am the bad guy in this situation. My wife trusted me and I abused her trust over several years. I have since realized what I did, how hurtful it was and have been in counseling for my issue. Some of you will have a field day making fun of me and that’s fine. You can't possibly think less of me than I a do. I posted numerous nude pictures of my wife on various sites (mostly flickr and trading on yahoo.) The worst of what I did was including personal information with them. Name address pictures of her ID horrible things all. She is most likely going to make the smart choice and leave me but I am still interested either way in trying to right my wrong as best as I can. I haven't had the pictures for over a year. Others occasionally post them in places and we get phone calls from people informing us of the picture. She is worried about losing her job and about being stalked and raped. I wish I could undo what I did but I know reality is I can't.

I contacted the cyber crimes detective of our local PD but haven't heard back from him yet. The latest pictures were posted on something called gigatribe. I also contacted them but haven't heard back.

You can pass judgment on us both. She trusted her husband completely. I am the one who did wrong here. I hate what I have done and the pain and worry it causes her. It is tough as she is pregnant and I worry the stress will cause her to lose the baby. She is just a woman who was totally screwed over by her husband. I am the bad person. Once you finish ridiculing me can anyone suggest anything we can do to try and search for places these pictures are to have them removed? Is there any software that will search for them? Is there a type of detective that would do this kind of thing?

I realize how to take care of them when they pop up but would like to be more proactive. Part of me wonders if her best choice would be to move out of state and change jobs. She'll be fired for sure if these come to light. We have ID theft monitoring already in place for our financial peace of mind. There is no point in asking me what I was thinking. I trusted complete strangers with this stuff. Stupid and I know I wasn't thinking rationally. I just would like to shift the pain and hurt from her to me. It sucks she pays for what I did.

Since she didn't give permission to share the images and didn't even know about the identifying information and id images does that change the rules for other people reposting it?

Her boss is going to admit he was looking for wife-swap porn and noticed her...

C'mon.

You and YOUR WIFE and you took some nudey sex pics and they got loose on the web.

You are overstating the consequences of this.

That said, your wife could sue you, if she can prove malefeasance - ie that the sex pictures and sharing them with strangers was to malevolent and not just ordinary "sexhibition" that got out of hand.

There is a crap-dillion photos of ordinary people doing all manor of sex acts on the web.

Unless these photos are in themselves illegal or show something illegal, very little will come of this.

I just posted to the other thread in this forum and am not sure if I should have done so or just added to this thread, since my question is related to the internet also. That being said here is my situation.
I setup a facebook website and posted a few pictures on the webpage of the person (I used for setting up the name of the site) and myself. All pictures are my pictures (not stolen or copied)...all taken or sent to me. Nothing on the facebook site is demeaning, obscene, pornographic or negative in anyway. Simply a 'plain vanilla' website I set so that if anyone searched for that person they would see me and them together...nothing else. It should also be noted that I setup the website sometime ago using a 'created' yahoo id which was deleted after setting up the website on Facebook. (I never had intensions of using the site for communication, just wanted the pictures to be visable) As a result, I have long since forgotten both the facebook login and password as well as the same information for the temporary yahoo I used to create it.....so recovering the ids and passwords are impossible I believe. Personally I don't want to delete the account on facebook but the person pictured with me has called from out of state and complained to the local police that I setup a Facebook account using their name.

Question: Just as the person who I am following in this thread, I have my concerns, but I didn't do or say anything which put anyone into harms way and I wonder if I should be losing sleep over this? Did I do something illegal?
thanks for your input.
