What is the name of your state? uk

hi all i was wondering if someone could help me, a couple of days ago i got astrange call off a man, asking how much i charged for my services, i asked him where he got my number and he named me a website, i went on there and there is a picture of me and in my description it says that i offer a full range of services from escorting to other ruder things, the picture is one that i sent a male friend a couple of weeks ago, we have since fallen out, so i know he has done this, i have had many phone calls and am getting quite scared as i dont know if any of these men know my address. has he broken the law? and if so how much trouble would he get in, because i dont want to waste the police's time and if he is just going to get a slap on the wrist i might as well not bother as i fear he may come after me. ive tried contacting the website to ask them to take my details off but have recieved no reply. please could someone advise me as to what my options are?
thanks so much

Lyndsay, this is an awful and terrible thing to have happen to you. I am sorry but we really only know US law only here. Please keep on contacting the website and good luck to you.
Contact your law enforcement if you need to.

ps consider changing your number

contact the police and report what has happened. They may be able to assist you in getting the website to drop your picture and post.

you may want to set up your voicemail with a male voice or a neutral (default robotic voice) that just gives a standard greeting and not your phone number.
