Florida couple sues after text taunts alleging affair
A Naples couple filed a Collier County Florida defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress suit against John Doe over a birthday text accusing the husband of an affair.

The case cites broader trends with texts as strong evidentiary material in employment disputes and public cases, noting industry figures and legal experts urging preservation of electronic messages.
