You can make a criminal complaint to law enforcement about the sexual video regarding yourself and your significant other, but you cannot prosecute such a claim. Only the district attorney's office of the county and state where you reside can prosecute a criminal action. From what you have written, the events surrounding yourself sound more like a civil as opposed to a criminal matter. I recommend that you consult with a personal injury attorney about your situation.
