Finding out that you're being
cheated on sucks, but going to jail for finding out that you're being cheated on is even worse. Unfortunately for one New Jersey man, this is the exact situation that he finds himself in.
Sean Donis finds himself in trouble with the law after he confronted his wife when he busted in on her and another man in bed in an act that his lawyer claims is worthy of a medal.
Howard Greenburg told a jury that is client "deserves a medal" for the amount of "restraint that he showed" during the confrontation, which saw him storm into the Rockland County home of Albert Lopez to find that he was in bed with his wife, Nancy, in April 2016. However, other people aren't too impressed with the acts of Donis and he now faces 15 years in prison for breaking into Lopez's house as well as filming his naked wife and her fling while threatening to distribute the video.
Prosecutors revealed how Donis used the "track my iPhone" application to track Nancy to the house of Lopez and once he had recorded the footage, he sent it around to the relatives of his wife. In the footage, the enraged Donis can be heard saying: "All on video! Both of you motherf*****s are fired tomorrow!"
Lopez was the CEO of Gotham City Orthopaedics and Nancy was one of his employees. In the tense confrontation which followed the filming, the CEO ended up escorting Donis, a florist, out of his home. However, the drama continued online, with Donis sending a threatening message to Lopez, saying: "Bring it, bro. Slept with my wife. Good one f****t".
The court heard how Lopez claimed that he "couldn't go to sleep for days" after the encounter, which left him feeling threatened about what Donis might do in the days that followed.
According to reports, Nancy had told her then-husband to watch their 5-year-old son for the evening so that she could go to Lopez's home in order to engage in
sexual intercourse. Donis claims that she had told him that she was heading to Elizabeth, New Jersey, to meet with some friends for dinner. However, fearing that she was having an affair, Donis saw Nancy's iPhone location moving toward an address in Clifton and decided to act upon it.
Unsurprisingly, Nancy filed for divorce from Donis after the incident and it was all finalised in 2017.
While it's hard not to feel some sympathy for Donis, his actions were reckless and, most importantly, illegal. His lawyer's claim that he deserves a medal for not reacting with violence is absurd and doesn't exactly paint his client, or himself, in a good picture.
Still, not only has Donis now lost his wife, he may also be facing up to 15 years in prison for breaking into the home of the man who his wife was having an affair with. I can imagine that it won't go down as the best night he's ever had.
