Asked on May 08th, 2017 on Libel, Slander and Defamation - Florida
More details to this question:
I have been divorced for 5 years and for an unknown reason, my ex husband uploaded intimate imagery a year ago to an adult website, which has been brought recently to my attention. What legal action, if any can be taken? This is most certainly defamation and I am appauled that he could be so despicable. Since I have found this out, I've literally been sick to my stomach, lost sleep and can barely eat. I feel extremely violated!! Please let me know what my options may be.

Its not a defamation case at all. This is a "revenge porn" case. You can report this to law enforcement for potential criminal prosecution. If you want to sue for civilly damages there are several ways to do this, unfortunately, these are typically hourly rate/retainer cases and such litugation is typivally exensive to pursue.
