ABS-CBN Star Magic legal counsel Atty. Joji V. Alonso believed that Anthony Jenning’s ex-girlfriend, Jam Villanueva, may face charges for uploading the private conversation of his former partner.
It can be recalled that Jam uploaded several screenshots showing Anthony’s romantic conversation with his co-actress, Maris Racal.
In his post, the lawyer said that even if the acts of Maris and Anthony may be considered morally wrong, both artists didn’t do anything illegal.
However, Atty. Villanueva believed that Jam committed illegal acts by posting screenshots of the conversation without any consent from both Maris and Anthony.
“Assuming that all the screenshots are legit, the fact remains that Maris and Anthony have committed NO crime. Their actions may be regarded as morally wrong, but they were never married to their respective partners,” said Villanueva.
“Jamela on the other hand, may have committed at least two illegal acts with her actions – cyber libel and violation of data privacy. She cannot hide her actions under the guise of “moving on.” Yes, she may have experienced pain and betrayal, but this does not give her the license to violate the law,” she added.
It can be recalled that several legal experts already warned Jam and other netizens from posting private conversations.
