Recently, a Fairfax County Circuit Judge ruled that the Virginia Computer Crimes Act, §18.2-152.7:1, does not provide for the recovery of punitive damages. Employees alleging harassment often include violations of this statute in cases where the alleged harassment occurs through emails or text messages. Under Virginia law, a party may seek up to $350,000 in punitive damages.
