Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
A girl created a fake ad on craiglist in the men seeking men section without my permission displaying some pretty graphic photos. She also gave out my phone number and a photo of me also, for the past couple of days men have been calling and texting my phone. Is there any legal action I can take against her?

Sure. Potential causes of action include defamation, intrusion upon seclusion/invasion of privacy, and you may also be able to sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress, although that is generally a more difficult cause of action to prove.
I strongly suggest that you meet with an attorney as soon as you can-these various causes of action all have statutes of limitations and if you wait too long, your ability to bring suit can expire.
Yes, but first and foremost contact Craigslist to have it removed. Then, contact an attorney. Regards,
