[fl] My Ex Shared Private Photos Of Me From When I Was 17. What Are My Legal Options?

Card image cap

Location: Florida, USA

I'm looking for legal advice and recommendations for the right type of attorney in Florida.

A few years ago, when I was 17, my then-boyfriend had photos of me. I later found out that he shared those photos with other people without my permission. He was 18 at the time.
I'm not trying to start drama or expose anyone online, and I won't be sharing names or personal information.
I'm only trying to understand whether I have any legal options and what type of lawyer I should speak with.

I have questions such as:
• Does it matter legally that I was 17 when the photos were taken?
• If someone shares private photos without consent, what laws might apply in Florida?
• Should 1 be looking for a civil attorney, a personal injury attorney, a privacy attorney, or someone else?
• Is it worth speaking with law enforcement?
• What evidence should I gather before contacting an attorney?
I still have some information related to what happened, but before I spend money on consultations, I'd like to know whether this is something attorneys actually take cases on.

Any advice from people familiar with a case like this will help. Thank you
