What is the name of your state? CA

I have been receiving disturbing emails from an acquaintance of an acquaintance twice removed. (I have met this man once, but have never even spoken to him.) All of the emails are sexual in nature and one of them had photographs attached that showed him having sex.

I have set my filters to block these emails a few times, only to receive emails from the same person, but from a different email address.

Several acquaintances have told me that his man has either asked about me or made various comments about me that suggest that he has some type of a relationship with me.

This guy is starting to worry me. Is there a law against sending unsolicited pornography to an adult?

Thanks.What is the name of your state?

At the very least, he coul dbe charged with a misdemeanor:

653m. (a) Every person who, with intent to annoy, telephones or
makes contact by means of an electronic communication device with
another and addresses to or about the other person any obscene
language or addresses to the other person any threat to inflict
injury to the person or property of the person addressed or any
member of his or her family, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Nothing in
this subdivision shall apply to telephone calls or electronic
contacts made in good faith.


He could also theoretically be charged with stalking.

I would recommend you contact the police. Chances are a phone call from the police will end this bizarre activity.
