Date: May 27th, 2025 11:45 AM Author: chilmata I represent husband and wife has been invading his privacy and reading his Gmail since last September including all his emails with me.
She has been in possession of the family tablet since September and he never logged out of his Gmail.
He first became suspicious when another parent came up to him and told him she was at the "near drowning experience" that occurred with his daughter at the lake on wife's watch.
His 6 year old daughter told him about the near drowning experience, he emailed me about it and then a couple of days later he was approached by this parent (the parent was offering to put his mind at ease about the experience, running damage control).
Wife also sent him an email answering the questions he had in a draft email that he never sent.
Those two things tipped him off and he checked his Gmail privacy/security settings and saw that the family tablet was logged into his Gmail.
He was able to capture a screenshot of that moment, showing it was logged in last Friday. He then signed the tablet out of his Gmail (kind of stupid in retrospect) and that is the only evidence he has.
Questions: do I subpoena Google? I'm subpoening my own client's gmail records so Google should producde those without a problem, right?
Damages are speculative. They've been unyielding in negotiations. Civil lawsuit worth pursuing?
The opposing attorney most likely knew the entire time because she's shady, but impossible to prove so I'm not going to waste time pursuing that angle.
My gut is telling me the DA or AUSA will not be interested in prosecuting this even though what she did is a state and federal crime.
The biggest question, since I'm a retard, is can I prove she invaded his privacy? How? How easy is this?
My client, who is normally pretty chill, is melting down so telling him to suck it up there are no damages is not really an option. |
