You should speak with an attorney about this. If his website a pay website? Is he in Texas?
Re: Unlawful use of images
You may have a misappropriation of your image, assuming that the images are being used for profit. There may also be a privacy issue as well, depending on the permission given at the time (if any). However, these issues are fact specific, and I don't have enough information to go on.
