Comment Intrusion/Invasion of Privacy (Score 2, Informative) 205
IANAL, but I am a law student (admittedly a lowly first-year).
Your options here will definitely vary by what state you're in. There may be a state law against unauthorized recording (for instance, the one Linda Tripp violated in Maryland, although I don't know the particular law and I'm not sure if it would apply here).
More likely, though, you could have a civil claim (not criminal), although this would again depend on what state you're in. This might represent an "intrusion upon seclusion" or "invasion of privacy" tort - you should research the law on this in your state, or get a lawyer to do it for you (probably the better idea). If you happen to be in California (or even if you're not), I know some cases that might be relevant just because I just had an assignment on this sort of thing - Shulman v. Group W Productions, Sanders v. American Broadcasting Corporation, Walker v. Darby, and Sanchez-Scott v. Alza Pharmaceuticals. (California Supreme Court, California Supreme Court, 11th Circuit, and California Appellate Court, respectively)
Of course, this does not constitute legal advice - just some ideas on where you might want to research. You should absolutely call a lawyer.
