Legal Question in Technology Law in Ohio

email laws

ae there any laws against a person or persons breaking into your personal acoounts and reading or adding things to your rofiles or emails. I have a friend who keeps breaking into others accounts including mine stating she has a right to know hwats being said against her. she has caused much harm to innocent people and well I feel my own privacy has been severely invaded. she says there are no laws against such things and she cannot get into trouble but i for one would like my privacy back and am getting tired of the paranonia associated with her invasion and as a result she has everyone afraid to talk. Are their laws against such things and what can i do to stop her from doing this. We have changed our passwords numerous times but she always finds a way to get to them and is in many accounts. again are there laws against such things and what are the penalties of it?

also add kentucky in your inquiry she lives in both states and is using both computers.

Re: email laws

She is violating federal and state privacy laws and the terms of service of your service providers. You can also report her to the police, but just do it and don't threaten to do it because that would be a crime.
