IS EMAIL SNOOPING A CRIME?


A Michigan man is going to trial for a felony charge after logging onto his now ex-wife's Gmail account and reading her emails where he found that she was cheating on him.

Leon Walker logged on to a laptop that both he and his then-wife, Clara Walker, had shared. Her password was supposedly saved in the Gmail login. What Walker had found was that Clara was allegedly cheating on him with a previous husband.

He faces up to five years in prison for a felony computer misuse charge, which is an Internet law made to protect against identity theft and stealing of trade secrets.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
