Re: Email forgery
Depending on intent a crime may lie. Where defamation or defalcation occurs an issue could be made. Essentially, there must be an intent to do harm that requires proving.
Misuse of electronic communication is presided by an assortment of Federal and state laws and is quite complex. If legal action is being taken against you for any alleged misuse, you should contact an attorney for assistance.
