    The email was registered in my name, not the organizations. It was my personal email that I was using. I never gave the organization permission to use it. I should have changed the password when I left or they should have changed it when I left and they started using it. That is my point of view and exactly what I told the police.

    No, my employer would not have a problem with it.

    No new crimes. I never touched it after the visit from police.

    What is the statue of limitations in Indiana? Would what I did fall under that too?

    She wants to get them for defamation. They are bad mouthing her again. She wants to show a pattern.

    Would the police have told the organization that it was me? Or just the prosecutor?
    Does the email address use the companies own domain? If so, while it was originally assigned to you, once you severed your ties with the company it remained a company asset. If it was a company domain it never was your email. It was then and remained a company asset. You were simply allowed to have an address within their domain.



    If it was your email and you’re so tech savvy, why did the company even have your password?


    if you want to stand on it being your email, then there could be no crime. Why you stopped using it makes one wonder if it was truly your email. When you found somebody using your email, why didn’t you lock it down and take control of it? Again, suggestive of it not being your email.




    Defamation is based on specific events. It matters not what they did 10 years ago as the sol has expired for anything that took place then.(2 years) If she can prove defamation now, then she is free to sue them. Bad mouthing somebody in itself is not defamation. It has to be a false statement. Opinions are opinions and not defamation (generally speaking).

    the police or the prosecutor could have informed them of you accessing the email account. If they had its something you would have to ask them. Either of them may have disclosed your name in the process of their investigation. Whether things went that far is something you would have to ask the police and prosecutor.
