My boyfriend works for a contracting company for a large corporation. He uses his personal cell phone to interact with customers and this is acceptable with his company. A couple weeks ago my bf received a message from a customer regarding a job he had done. He responded as usual and that was that. A few minutes later the customer sent him another text saying “I’m not gay bro!” Bf responded neither am I. He was confused as to what had prompted that text message, scrolled up and saw 3 photos that looked to have been sent from my bf phone to the customer. One was him nude in the bathroom mirror, like one would take for a fitness before/after. Another was a random selfie and the 3rd was a video of he and I from a concert we attended a few years ago. (I am a female) He immediately apologized and asked the customer to delete the images saying he does not know how the pics were even sent to him, he even questions if his phone could have been hacked. The customer states he will be going to the corporate office with a complaint. He again apologized and stated it was not intentional that he sent any of the images. The customer did in fact share all of the pictures with the corporate office as well as his contracting company he works for. He demanded his services be refunded and that my bf pay for them. In addition my bf has now been demoted of most of his management duties that he was responsible for prior to the incident. They are taking the payment to the customer out of his paycheck. All of this feels criminal and my bf seems to be the victim here. He made a police report and they agreed it to be ethically wrong but they advised him not to pursue charges. We contacted a lawyer and they said they cannot help us. Is this something that we just need to find a very specific lawyer for? I had reached out to a sextortion lawyer and they also said while it is a disappointing situation they would not be able to help us. What are our options here?
