Cornell Email Scandal: Technology Betrays Adulterers
In an adultery investigation case, finding evidence like the email exchange between Cornell Business School employees “Lisa” and “John” would be like winning the jackpot. In case you haven’t already heard about the scandal, John accidentally copied the entire school on a very long and explicitly tawdry email exchange with his mistress Lisa. Both are married and, as is made abundantly clear from the email, engaging in a steamy affair. Read the full email transcript for the R-rated, torrid details.
Assuming this leads to at least one divorce, Lisa and John will need to hire top notch lawyers. With evidence like this, their spouses will not need to bother hiring a private investigator to prove adultery. Since the email was sent publicly, it should be admissable in a court of law. From the email, we know Lisa has children and, depending on New York’s divorce laws, this evidence may help her husband get custody.
