Can I be sued?

[sandysomeone]

I recently found out 2 people were having an extra-marital affair. I sent some of those incriminating emails to the husband of the woman involved.
Now the guy involved in the affair is threatening to take civil action against me...can he really do that?
What are my rights? An urgent reply will be appreciated.

Yes, he can. Try writing a retraction. Explain that you are terribly sorry for the mistake you made; you should come across as very sincere in this. That should stop him from proceeding with the threat. Good Luck!
