If you are, or were, under the age of consent when you were being abused, all you have to do is go to the police. Keep any evidence, or witnesses in case you have to prove something. The police should follow this up very quickly

If you were over the age of consent, then you have to be able to prove you were being abused. You will need to talk to a lawyer for advice. If you can't afford a lawyer there may be a Legal Aid Office or something similar you can go to to get advice or referral.

Is there any 'legal action' one can take to stop the narcissistic abuser from continuing involvement with the victim's family and friends after the victim has left and filed for divorce?

You can get a court order to have the abuser stay away from you. but your family will have to apply for a restraint order on their own as well as your friends will have to retain their own court orders and deal with it individually. You will have to see a lawyer and even if you get a restraint order against the abuser it is generally classified as "just a piece of paper" and you still may not be protected. Before you spend your money on getting a restraint order ask the lawyer in your state how much clout this legal action will have if the abuser should still contact you. Good luck Marcy
