The guy my friend has been seeing put a keylogger on her computer?

She just found it and had it removed, but he's been spying on very very personal convo's between us (info that could ruin her). I know it's illegal, but what actions can be taken, or what can she tell him to scare him (legal jargon, etc). When confronted, he said "offices do it". But we all know companies can have legal rights to company emails, etc, and he knows better than to give such a lame excuse. Anyway to prove it was him or what kind of burden of proof is necessary?

I know it's illegal, companies have the right, but must inform employees at the time of employment and parents have parental rights that allow them such liberties until the age of 18. Playing unsolicited software on someone else's computer without consent is illegal and an invasion of privacy

The First important step she needs to take is "Have NOTHING to do with this man at all! He had No right doing such a thing.

http://www.ic3.gov is the FBI internet crimes unit.

Put his picture on a billboard where he lives and write what he did on the billboard.

Well, it may be hard to prove anything, sorry.
He sounds like a real piece of "Dog Sh*t".

what a jerk. I mean give a girl some privacy if she's not doing anything wrong! geesh. its not really illegal though which is sad..... Parents do that all the time with their kids. I saw it on the tyra show, this guy was telling parents to buy this product of his. So I don't think its illegal.
