Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania
Hello, I received an email from somebody accusing me of the following:
- INVASION OF PRIVACY AND STALKING
- LISTENING IN ON A PHONE CONVERSATION
- INVADE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE
- LISTENING IN ON HER PRIVATE LIFE THROUGH THE PHONE
These accusations above are absolutely counter factual (false) and I replied with an email denying the accusations and with a CEASE AND DESIST letter advising them that under Pennsylvania law, it is unlawful to engage in defamation of another�s character and reputation by making false accusations.

Let's start with the accusations.
Invasion of Privacy -- Doesn't appear in Title 18 (where crimes are defined)
Stalking -- That's a crime but so what it's not a felony and what are the specifics?
Listening in on a phone conversation -- Possibly a violation of the wiretap act but
what are the specifics?
INVADE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE --- Not a crime
LISTENING IN ON HER PRIVATE LIFE THROUGH THE PHONE -- Not a crime and I'm not sure it's even possible.
In addition to being false as you claim 2 of the are grammatically incorrect.
Actually you legally incorrect defaming some was is a tort and a civil not criminal matter.
That said your accuser sounds a bit round the bend. I just avoid any contact with them.
