Nasty emails
Question Details:
If someone sends you a nasty email containing extreme foul language, such as calling you a F---in pig and more, can you press charges?
No. People are allowed to be insulting, crude, profance, etc. If there is a pattern of abusive emails, and/or they get threatening, then there may be a case for harassment, stalking, or a related claim. However, one or two emails, if they are "simply" foul and nasty, do not give rise to any legal claims.
A nonlegal suggestion: it may be possible to set your email system/program to not accept emails from this person. Or if someone is sending it from a work account, you could possibly contract the person's employer and point out what they are doing from their official work email.
