Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Posting emails

I posted emails from an ex on a online blog. She said she is going to file a suit against me because I exploited her by posting the emails she sent to me. Is this possible and what kind of charges could even be filed against me?

Contact me directly when you know more. She'll need to bring the suit against you by personally serving you a summons--which will outline her allegations.
