This might be the worst possible thing to do. The result would be a bunch of lawyers get rich, and the publicity from the lawsuit would only draw more attention to the site, and the specific posts of the plaintiffs. See:
The Barbara Streisand Effect.
Probably your best option is to submit a DMCA takedown request for the image of your "friend", claiming that you took the photo of your "friend" and you own the rights to it. When you go to the site there's a menu in the upper left corner, click copyright, and there's instructions. This should at least provide your "friend" with plausible deniability if anyone ever googles his name and asks him if that post was referring to him. This will work better if your "friend" has a common name.
If the DMCA doesn't work, the next best thing would be to increase your "friend's" web presence in order to get the link to the post on the dirty as far down the google results as possible. Have your "friend" purchase domain names of his name, like firstnamelastname.com/.net/.org. Have him start a blog or three on wordpress or whatever other crappy blog sites people use these days. Make sure his real name is all over it, but don't reveal any other personal info on the sites. Have him create social media profiles in his real name, but without pics of him anywhere on them. LinkedIn, FB, twitter, youtube, etc.
If he has a very common name and the link to the dirty post isn't even in the first 3-4 pages of google results for his name, I might not even bother doing any of this.
