Important thing to mention we’re in the EU, not in the US.

So basically the above. Won’t dox myself but there are pictures uploaded with the names of the women, the pictures were taken in private, some of these pictures were taken when my girlfriend was alone with the person. There are also a lot of pictures of women taken secretly. There are also details mentioned about e.g. the flats of women or other details that you can only know if you know the people. There also photoshopped pictures where throats are slit and there are very explicit murder + rape fantasies written out.

Right now we have two possible explanations

  1. It is the person we suspect it is
  2. Someone who knows the person and is part of our friend circle has hacked the iCloud of the person we suspect it is.

Besides going to the police is there anything we can do about this? My fear is that our national police is too incompetent to deal with this.

    I mean of course we’re going to the police. The problem is just that our local police is incompetent especially related to internet things posted on a US hosted website, and there are hundreds of pictures of tens of women. So I’m legit worried that we’d be the first to go to the police, and they end up doing nothing but somehow the person we suspect it to be is indeed the person who does this and now also has our names and we actually end up like on the pictures.

      If you want the pictures removed, your girlfriend should file a GDPR deletion request with the website. But coordinate that with the police because the worst thing could be the website deleting it and the police then going “we don’t see what you have described on the website, we can’t do anything”

      Go to the equivalent of the FBI. FBI is national police, and they are also an intelligence agency. They’re not incompetent. Whatever the equivalent is in your country, go to them.

      If this were in the United States, then the targets being in multiple states would enhance the FBI’s jurisdiction.

      The more geographically spread out these targets are, the more of a case there is to be made for handling it “at the national level”.

      Heck you might even be able to contact the actual FBI since the website is US (no idea whether this is true).
