Bloomington, IN asked in Constitutional Law for Indiana

Q: Invasion of Privacy?

Recently broke up with a girl like a week ago to improve myself and save up enough money for an apartment for HER and I. I had learned that she was talking crap behind my back and sending nudes to other guys already after she had told me she would wait. So with the password she gave me. I logged into her Snapchat to see who its with, I then I screenshotted the “evidence” to call her out and showed her father the reason for me no longer being in her life.

What kind if charges could she push against me?

A: Accessing someone’s private accounts without their permission can lead to legal issues. Even if she initially shared her password, using it after a breakup might be viewed as unauthorized access depending on the circumstances and local laws.

You could potentially face charges related to invasion of privacy or unauthorized access to electronic communications. Additionally, sharing her private images without consent might violate privacy laws and could lead to further legal complications.

It’s important to consider the legal implications of these actions and seek advice from a legal professional. They can provide guidance based on the specific details of your situation and the laws in your area.
