UK: Dentist hacked into fiancee’s laptop to show she was a fantasist

Posted on January 25, 2011July 3, 2025 by Dissent

Nick Britten reports:

A dentist loaded spyware onto his fiancee’s laptop to gather evidence against her as their relationship collapsed, a court has heard.

Mark Singh was accused of “somewhat lacking in gentlemanliness” by infiltrating his former fiancee Moira Walsh’s computer.

Mr Singh’s “disgraceful behaviour” landed him with legal costs or around £130,000, even though he had come out largely on top in a bitter court battle.

This case reminds me somewhat of the recent ruling in British Columbia. In contrast to how these two cases were handled, we have the felony hacking approach here in Michigan.
