Sure. Get the IP address and the exact timestamps of the session. Then
use whois to find out about the carrier this IP address belongs to.
Then email their abuse account (usually [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and ask
them for help. If they're unwilling (most probably), go to the
nearest police station with your evidence.
