[NC] How do I send a cease and desist letter for criminal activity?

I have a client who is sending aggressive texts, emotionally manipulative texts, gaslighting texts, verbally aggressive phone calls, and threats to slander our business. I run a successful pet-sitting business of 12 years. After 72 hours this client became hostile — we won’t abandon the dog because we feel bad for him, but the client sends a slew of wild accusational texts and we need them to stop. Should an immediate cease-and-desist work?

How do I handle someone threatening to post nude pictures of me?

My partner was messaging someone from a chat website and sent nude pictures of himself. Someone is now messaging him that they will post those pictures publicly and state they were underage unless he sends them money. The chat logs show they said they were 21. He panicked and already sent them $200, and they are requesting more. He’s not sure what his best option is going forward, and we would like advice.

[NY] How do I confirm that my record is sealed after an arrest?

I was arrested for domestic violence in New York City, but the charges were dropped without prejudice before I was arraigned. I was fingerprinted and photographed, but I never went to court and never received paperwork. I understand my case should be automatically sealed under CPL §160.50. How can I confirm that my record has been sealed properly, and what steps should I take if it hasn’t been?
