Let this be an object lesson for jealous spouses and bitter exes everywhere–don’t go online if you can’t do the time. A Michigan man could face up to five years after using his wife’s password to get into her Gmail account. The man, 33-year-old Leon Walker of Rochester Hills, Michigan, broke into his wife’s account and discovered that she was having an affair.
The couple has since filed for divorce, and Leon is being charge with a felony, thanks to a Michigan statute usually used for identity theft cases. According to the Detroit Free Press, this is the first time it’s been used in a domestic case.
“I would guess there is enough gray area to suggest that she could not have an absolute expectation of privacy,” lawyer Frederick Lane told the paper.
