Well, he'd have to be a using a Google account for them to be able do
anything about it. Here's a faq answer I found regarding the subject
from Google themselves.
----------------------
How can I report cases of Usenet abuse from people posting though
Google Groups?
To report cases of Usenet abuse, click the "More options" link at the
top of the message and select "Report this message." On the report
page, describe why you think the post is abusive.
Please be aware that, while we appreciate how annoying off-topic posts
can be, Google does not regularly monitor or censor postings sent to
Google Groups, and we aren't able to pursue most complaints that we
receive. However, we do try to prevent wide-scale spam and other forms
of Usenet abuse, most notably involving numerous repeat offenses or
the posting of someone's personal information (such as credit card or
social security numbers). We'll use all of the information we receive
regarding abuse and spam to make large-scale changes to fight all
types of abuse. In Google Groups discussion groups (not Usenet
newsgroups), you can also ask the owner or moderator to remove a post.
---------------------
According to this it doesn't sound like they would take action unless
they consider the guy to be a serious nuisance.
And if the guy isn't using a Goggle account then you could complain to
his Internet service provider about the spamming, i.e. cox cable,
comcast, netzero, AOL, etc... though it's very possible they'd have
the same reaction to it as Google does. Still, it doesn't hurt to try.
