There have been many, many law suits regarding abuse attached to computers. In this instance, the key phrase to Google for is "trespass to chattel."

IANAL, NDIPOOTV. With that disclaimer out of the way, unless you can show SIGNIFICANT financial harm, pursuing this is absolutely not worth the money. Lawyers in the US seem to average $300/hour, and if you want one who specializes in computer abuse cases, you'll be paying a lot more.
