Legislator's wife slapped with $20,000 penalty for wiretapping violations » Knoxville News Sentinel:

'via Blog this'U.S. Magistrate Judge William B. Carter has issued a ruling in which he assesses Chrystal Goan Hawk $20,000 for violating state and federal wiretapping laws in connection with her prior marriage to Greeneville millionaire James Roy Klumb.
Both, according to Carter's opinion, were worried about infidelity. 
According to Carter's opinion, Crystal Hawk drafted two — one meeting her husband's wishes and signed by him and a second that would give her a big chunk of her husband's assets should he cheat. She also drew up two versions of a related document and had her lover, attorney Todd Shelton, take the version benefiting her to be signed off by a judge. It did not appear from the opinion that Shelton knew that document had been altered. 
Carter wrote that Crystal Hawk also secretly installed spyware on Klumb's work computer and diverted email between Klumb and another woman. The email was innocuous, but Crystal Hawk doctored them to make it appear the pair was having an affair, according to Carter. Klumb via defense attorney Hugh Ward sued his now ex-wife for violating wiretapping laws through the use of spyware on his computer to snatch his emails.
