QUESTION
Can legal action be taken against someone who has taken and possesses explicit pictures of one self, and is threatening to use them to embarass one
Asked on Jan 20th, 2014 on Libel, Slander and Defamation - Florida
More details to this question:
My friend (a friend not me) can only recall flashes of light, and waking up bleeding the next morning. Now this person has some sort of axe to grind, and he is threatening to make these photos public. She apparently did not remember, let alone give permission for these pictures to be taken.

Well, what you are describing may amount to extortion or invasion of privacy. It all depends on how much your freind is willing to spend on attoney's fees to address the issue. If the answer is "none" then it may be an embarrassing learning lesson to be more selective of who he or she goes home with, parties with or hangs out with.
