My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
Long time girlfriend always has laptop on at home to answer email and get financials completed.
Recently, she has been hearing very specific and correct details about our conversations and sexual activities. She does not tell anyone at work about anything and swears up and down that she would especially tell any of the sexual activites. The details are so specific and accurate that if she did tell a friend they would not get right. It is a had to be there situation.
I work at a different company and do not talk about my relationships. We do not exchange personal emails either with the company email or public emails at work or at home about any of this. This is not a friend tells a friend situation or someone reading personal emails. She does not have a company cell phone and neither do I so that is not being recorded.
She started hearing whispers at work that the computer department has turned on the recording feature remotely using the laptop microphone and records everything while the laptop is not connected and they listen to in the computer department. They have given her a nickname and I do not want to repeat here because it could identify if someone read this.
Yesterday, a coworker told her that she had heard that the computer department had been recording us and no one in management did anything about it.
One more detail, she is a very attractive blonde and men are always interested in her.
Based upon the facts I have listed above, I do not believe she or we are paranoid although at first I thought she was paranoid. From the specific and correct details I do not believe it is hearsay or rumor because it is too accurate. An when her coworker told her about the recording which confirmed it for both of us I was convinced.
Is it illegal to record an employee at home on the laptop the company issued without consent?
Is it illegal when I am being recorded on a computer in my home without my consent when I do not own the computer?
Would this recording be legal if she was at home alone on her computer?
What can we do to document this?
Does someone have a webpage they can link us to for someone else who has had this problem?
My girlfriend is very strong and professional but this has affected her greatly and has affected our relationship in a very negative way. She dreads going to work with the whispering and nicknames and coworkers snicker when she enters the room for a meeting.
