What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
I have a close friend currently in the process of a divorce. Recently their spouse had used his work phone to send a workwide email posing/signing the email as him. From my understanding some of the statements in the email are false.... i.e. In the email it mentions another co-worker by name and states that they had contracted an STD from each other. In short the email was very distasteful and possible damaging to his and his co-workers career. The soon to be ex made a similar statement on a social networking site stating she may have been exposed to previously stated STD.
I guess my question is if there any recourse he or his co-worker can take against this? Does there need to be actual proof or admittance by her that she sent it, or can it be proved by combination of other emails and statements? As well as for the false possibly damaging comments about the STD ? My biggest concern for him is with regards to he and his co-workers employment. As well as my friends mental well being. Any advice would be appreciated.
thank you
