Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

Yesterday I was deposed as a witness (by the wife) for my boyfriends divorce case. They have been legally separated since Sept 2015. During Mar-Jun of 2016 when we were dating, my boyfriend was deployed. I have a Nest camera and so during his deployment we set up the camera in my bedroom and he was able to see me naked when he logged into my nest account on his phone. The nest cam was on a secure wifi and I was in my bedroom alone. During the deposition, her lawyer passed around (I had a lawyer, boyfriends lawyer, GAL, wife and her two lawyers were present) screen shots of the nest cam and me naked in my bedroom (dozens of screenshots but only a couple different instances). These pictures are over a year old, were not disclosed during the discovery, disclosure does not affect his case and I feel a complete invasion of my privacy . On a side note, the boyfriend moved out of the marital home when legally separated, had a separate cell phone/bill, changed his apple ID and password. We subsequently found out she had gone into his house (it was a rental property they owned so he moved in there and she kept the primary house) several times and stolen all his accounts and passwords. He has a first name that can be both male and female so she can also contact businesses over the phone and pretend to be him (which she had done often when he was deployed and they were married). Now that I know all this, prior instances make more sense like I know she has gone to my ex husband (father of my child) and either told him about the pictures or shown him) as well as others. So the question is do I have a civil or criminal case against her?

Quite possibly, a sustainable claim for substantial civil damages based on this woman's egregious invasion

of your privacy rights (if all the facts are as you claim---in my opinion).
