    r/AITAH ⚫4 hr. ago Kind-Temperature 7553 AITA for suing my elderly neighbor after finding out he secretly put a camera in my bathroom?
  • 02
    Hey everyone, I'm honestly still in shock and could really use some perspective here. So I (32F) have known my neighbors, "John" (75M) and "Nancy" (73F), for years now. They're sweet people, like the typical kind, caring older couple. We've been on great terms, and they were like family to me, honestly. Since they're elderly and don't have any family

    around, I thought it'd be ok to give them a spare key, just for emergencies, you know?

    Well, yesterday I was doing a deep clean in my bathroom when I found this tiny object behind the vent. It was a mini camera, like really well hidden. At first, I was like, no way this can be real. But after the shock wore off, I started piecing things together and just felt this sinking dread in my stomach. I immediately checked

    my home security footage, just to see if I could figure out how it got there.

    And there it was, clear as day John, coming into my house while I was out. Multiple times. It's pretty obvious he was the one who put it there, and it made me feel... I don't even know. Betrayed? Sick? I can't even find the words.

    I went over right away to confront him, and he actually admitted to it! He didn't even deny it, just said he was "curious" and tried to downplay it. Nancy was in the room and looked absolutely shattered. She kept saying she had no idea, and I believe her. She was just as horrified, and she even started

    saying she can't live with him if this is the kind of person he is. She mentioned something about thinking of divorce, and I could see how broken she looked.
  • 09
    But here's where I'm struggling. After a lot of thought, I've decided to press charges. This was a massive invasion of my privacy, and I don't know how else to hold him accountable. But now my family and some friends are saying I'm overreacting and that suing an old man could ruin his life, especially since Nancy is already suffering from it.

    I feel like I'm stuck. I hate the idea of hurting Nancy by suing her husband she's done nothing wrong, and I know this is tearing her apart too. But how can I just let this go? What he did was so beyond wrong, and age shouldn't be an excuse, right? Am I really supposed to just brush this off?
  • 11
    Anyway, AITA for deciding to go forward with the lawsuit against him, even if it could totally ruin both their lives?

    My BFF's house had a camera hidden in the bathroom by a guy we thought was a close friend. This happened a decade ago and many of us are still affected to this day. I have zero tolerance for this kind of disgusting betrayal.
  • 17
    You gave that man love and trust and he violated you in a truly shameful, unforgivable, devious, disgusting, horrendous way. John ruined his own life by being a creeper. Throw all the books at this criminal sexual predator!!!!
