A Michigan man who says he learned of his wife's infidelity by reading her e-mail faces felony charges of computer misuse.
Prosecutors, relying on a Michigan statute typically used to prosecute crimes such as identity theft or stealing trade secrets, have charged Leon Walker, 33, with a felony after he logged onto a laptop in the home he shared with his wife, Clara Walker. If convicted in the trial that begins Feb. 7, he could be sentenced to five years in prison.
Using her password, he accessed his wife's Gmail account and learned she was having an affair. She filed for divorce, which was finalized this month.
Leon Walker told the Oakland Press of Pontiac, Mich., that he was trying to protect the couple's children from neglect. He called the case a "miscarriage of justice."
Oakland prosecutors say the charge is justified.
