Can anyone advise what the law is regards somone using another  person facebook account witout their permission ?

short story is person a watched person b login and discoverd the password and has since used it to gather information from messages sent and recieved about personal matters etc circulate that information to others and has also removed friends from the account


is this any type of crime ? is there any thing that can be done other than change the password ?

What relation is person A to person B? Friend, work colleague, stranger? Depends on who they are as to what's the best way to play it. It would almost certainly be a sacking offence if it happened at work, so talk to your PR person. For a stranger, go to the Police, talk to the desk dude and they will advise you about who to report it to. For a 'friend', maybe handle it personally?

Obvious thing that should be done is person A needs to change their password ASAP to stop a repeat performance from person B, and inform Facebook so they have a record of what's happened if it needs to go to court.

Posing as someone else and distributing personal details about them is almost certainly a crime, it's identity theft, so would possibly come under fraud laws? Person A could talk to a solicitor about compensation due for defamation of character as well.
