Naked Pictures Of My Ex-Girlfriends
I've been split from my ex for 4 years; he has very embarrassing and explicit naked pics and a video which was taken without my consent.

He might think better of posting the pictures or the video for fear of what might happen, even more so if, like you say, one was taken without your consent.
