Mich. man faces charges for reading wife's e-mail

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. �
A Rochester Hills man who says he learned of his wife's affair by reading her e-mail on their computer faces trial Feb. 7 on felony computer misuse charges.

Thirty-three-year-old Leon Walker used his wife's password to get into her Gmail account. Clara Walker filed for a divorce, which was granted this month.

Leon Walker tells The Oakland Press of Pontiac he was trying to protect the couple's children from neglect and calls the case a "miscarriage of justice."

Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor Sydney Turner says the charge is justified.

1. using her password?

aside from the joint property aspects, knowledge of the password would rather suggest she gave consent, or at least failed to revoke consent by changing the password.

of course, her employer could read her emails, at least if she ever used work property to access them....
