What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

Hello all, 1st i'm not sure this is the right place to put this so let me know. Anyway this morning I was contacted be the police saying that nudes pics off a camera that I had contact with had appeared on the internet. Come to find out the person filling the complaint was someone I know that had me hold there camera for part of the night at a club. The next morning after the club I didn’t have it and she had stolen my phone and I.D. because she thought I had lost it. People had gone through the camera and viewed all the pics including some private pic of her and her boyfriend before I gained possession of the camera again to return to her in exchange for my phone and I.D. Before retuning it to her one of her friends asked to have the pics from the night of the party so I gave only the pics for that night only to her.

And now my Question is there any law broken by me? And if so what? And what should I do?

My 2nd Question is if this goes any further can I do anything about my stolen my phone and I.D.?

The moment you decided to give the photos that didn't belong to you to anyone else, you committed a crime.

Even if some of the pics given away where taken by me and/or had me in them?
Don't be cute.

You know the photos I am talking about are the ones that DIDN'T have you in them but, instead, found their naked little way onto the internet.

You will be charged.
The person that posted them will be charged.

The only pics tranfered where of the night of the party and I'm thinking your not the best person to be giving advice seeing as you seem upset by the whole event.

The word you are looking for is "you're"... a contraction of "you" and "are".

Okay, then let me put it to you this way.

You can be charged with distribution of pornography and then civilly sued for defamation.

Just as the person you gave them to.

My personal thought? You knew what was going to happen and figured it would be justice to get personal photos put on the internet.

You even figured you had a cut out since YOU weren't putting them on the internet... but the law doesn't care.

You were an accessory to the act. You actively participated in the act. In fact, the act could not have happened without you.

You need an attorney.

I didn't see nor transfer any of the pics from the camera other than the ones from that night. I have spoken with both an attorney and the detective looking in to the case now and there is no case or charges. Although you don't seem to beleve me about what I have and havent done so I doubt you care.

I don't care because you are a person on the internet that I don't know.

Your post of a question doesn't forever join our destiny..

I see a potential theft claim by you against the other party for the theft of your phone and ID, and maybe even extortion if you were told to provide that person with property you did not have. However, if you had deprived that person of their camera, perhaps you can both be charged.

As for the pics being put on the internet, for you to be charged the state would have to show that you actually unlawfully obtained the pictures which you had no right to and also uploaded them on line. I am not sure that posting them online would - by itself - be a crime, but stealing them could be.
