Report the content on reddit as infringing on your copyright. It might sound official, but you own the pictures and people can't distribute them without your permission.

If the pictures can be considered pornographic or sexual in nature and you figure out who it is (good chance that it's someone with access to your facebook so you probably do), then you can press charges under Section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act.

This would actually be relatively easy to prove given the nature of the posts. If the pictures were posted in a NSFW subreddit dedicated to pornographic or sexual material then the poster has already acknowledged the nature of the photographs. Combined with them disseminating your snapchat and phone numbers; the intent to cause distress portion of the law is also extremely easy to prove.

As a result, you can call the police on the non-emergency line and make a complaint as there has actually been a crime committed. Whether the police can figure out whose doing it though is another matter. If someone ever contacts you or send you anything, keep it / save it. Photographs sent via SMS usually keep their EXIF data that can tell you information about the phone and sometimes even GPS information which you can view[ here](https://exifdata.com/) or through downloadable applications. Snapchat and facebook remove exif information though, so you won't get anything useful from there but otherwise (email, SMS, ect) you can very likely identify the person contacting you with relative ease and depending on the content of the information, press charges.

Hope it works out for you.
