It would probably be tough to get a criminal charge taken out and proved - the only one I can think of is: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-152.7C1. or http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-417. There would certainly be civil causes of action that the person could file.
