Via MSNBC (AP).

When Robert Steinbuch discovered his girlfriend had discussed intimate
details about their sex life in her online diary, the Capitol Hill staffer
didn’t just get mad. He got a lawyer.

Soon, though, the racy tidbits about the sex lives of the two Senate aides
faded from the front pages and the gossip pages. Steinbuch accepted a
teaching job in Arkansas, leaving Washington and Jessica Cutler’s
“Washingtonienne” Web log behind.

While sex scandals turn over quickly in this city, lawsuits do not.
Steinbuch’s case over the embarrassing, sexually charged blog appears
headed for an embarrassing, sexually charged trial.

Lurid testimony about spanking, handcuffs and prostitution aside, the
Washingtonienne case could help establish whether people who keep online
diaries are obligated to protect the privacy of the people they interact
with offline.
