A husband who set up his then-wife’s email account so that her emails were forwarded to him, and continued collecting her emails after their divorce, has been cleared of liability under a federal privacy law.
A jury in White Plains on Friday found that Adel Abadir was not liable under the federal Wire Tap Act, 18 U.S.C. §2511, on accusations he secretly used auto-forwarding when he set up the email account for Annabelle Zaratzian in 2003 and never told her after the couple split.
