In a severe rebuke of a husband’s conduct during a divorce proceeding, a Brooklyn Judge sanctioned him, striking his pleadings.
The sanction was issued after it came to light that the husband had bugged his wife’s phone and listened in on her communications with her attorney.
The ruling came from Justice Sunshine (Kings County) after spyware, presumably installed by, or at the direction of the husband, was discovered on the wife’s phone. The husband’s iPhone and his computers were ordered seized.
Judge Sunshine’s ruling struck the husband’s pleadings seeking equitable distribution. The sanction was far-reaching in that the wife is the daughter of a Phillip Morris CEO, and significant assets were at stake.
