Is it illegal to distribute copies with a picture of someone who was never charged with harrasment?

Are you asking if it's legal to distribute pictures of an individual, identifying them as someone who harassed you? No, it's not against the law per se but that strikes me as a singularly excellent way to get sued for slander and defamation.

actually I should clarify it more this is a black balling issue to prevent a person from getting a job in the future.

"this is a black balling issue to prevent a person from getting a job in the future."
And if you do that, you are practically making THEIR case of damages against you.

The risks and downside of your taking such actions as 'publishing' someone as a 'harraser' are simply not worth it. Grow up, forget about 'revenge' and get on with our life.

In that case, you can add tortious interference to the list of things for which you can be sued. Your plan has a few flaws in it and I suggest you abandon all thoughts along this line.
