Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Iowa

X rated home film

Recently I broke up with my boyfriend. A year ago we filmed a home video of us having intercourse. Now, I'm terrified with the idea that he could do something with it. I have asked him to give it back to me so that we can destroy it, but he refuses. Unfortunately I was aware he was filiming. I just graduated from college and I'm afraid if that goes public, my future employers will find it. I am sure he can do many things with it. He has even threaten me with it. Is there anything I can do to get the video back or at least to make sure the video is not going to be public?

Re: X rated home film

This is problem that should be addressed quickly and by an attorney. I would suggest you immediately seek proper legal advice by hiring a lawyer to protect your privacy. Your previous boyfriend�s threats, if any, may amount to the crime of extortion. Your future is at stake and any threat to it needs to be immediately addressed. I�ve seen a case like this settled for $100,000.00 where the tape was shown to a group of men for laughs and giggles. Obviously it was not so funny to the young lady.
