Public records law used by husband to see cheating wife's work e-mails
A judge in Kentucky ruled that a man should be able to see messages exchanged through state government e-mail accounts by his cheating wife and her co-worker lover. His wife admitted to the affair and was supportive of the request so the husband could see the e-mails for closure. The Public Safety Cabinet originally denied the request because it said the e-mails contained private conversations that are exempt from state public records law. The judge disagreed, saying that if public employees are using state resources to exchange non-work-related messages during work hours, then the public ought to know. See
