One day the friends shouted something back but nothing too offensive, just in defence really. But this is what's really sick. Later or that day he sent her a text threatening to tell everyone about how someone in her family sexually abused her as a child, something she only ever told me, and him when they were really close.This came from completely out of nowhere and she feels sick with fear and upset, she doesn't know if this his sick way of getting his enjoyment out of other people's pain or what the hell went through his mind when he sent it.I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything she could do, or if this was a realy serious offence that he could get into a lot of trouble for? Any advice would me much appreciated, she doesn't deserve to suffer like this at all and I hate seeing her upsetThanks

 Its technically not a crime to go spilling secrets someone told you but there may be a loophole or a grey area in the law you could work to your advantage. There is something called "public disclosure of private facts" which may be worth looking into but as the others have said I would advise your friend to text her ex telling him she is keeping any and all texts he sends and that if he doesnt leave her alone she will report him and like Mandy said make sure you or her call the citizens advice beaureau. You can get their number in your phonebook and they basically help you out with anything legal you need advise on. Its free and confidential.
Good luck and let us know how you get on!
