A dancer friend of mine just figured out someone has been messing around with her email accounts and we are curious at to the legal issues regarding this. We are in Texas. Here's the situation:

DANCER <-emails-> CUSTOMER

VOYEUR sets up two fake yahoo accounts and emails both people saying to use the others fake account.

DANCER <-emails-> CUSTOMERFAKE/VOYEUR <-emails-> CUSTOMER

VOYEUR reads email from CUSTOMERFAKE and then repackages and sends it to CUSTOMER

also

CUSTOMER <-emails-> DANCERFAKE/VOYEUR <-emails-> DANCER

VOYEUR reads email from DANCERFAKE and then repackages and sends it to DANCER

This has been going on for 1.5 YEARS. So now the question, what kinds of laws has the VOYEUR broken and how much trouble can he get into?

Thanx, Dave.

also, we were able to get into both fake email accounts because the VOYEUR is someone she knows also and he used a password related to her. So we got in and looked at the email and found where he was even sending test emails to himself at his own personal email addresses.
