My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: VA

A relative left harrassing voice messages on my phone during a 7 month period. The messages contained insults and both indirect veiled threats and direct threats, including to call social services on my children, call my work and in general terms bring me down. I have all of these messages on tape, including my repeated requests for him to stop contacting me. Can I sue him for harrassment and claim emotional damages? Does it matter if he did this from another state?
