Man Faces 15 Years Jail for Catching Cheating Wife in Bed with Lover

7 News Australia/

In 2016, Nancy told her husband, Sean Donis, she was going to dinner.

Sean stayed behind to watch their five-year-old son. But when he couldn’t find his iPad, he turned on the ‘Find My iPhone app’ to locate it.

The software showed the electronic device moving toward an unknown location.

He had a hunch that his wife had taken it, and he decided to follow the trail. He arrived at a house and opened the unlocked door.

On the second floor, he found his wife, 38, in bed with her boss, Albert Lopez, 58. With his iPhone, he recorded two brief videos of them in bed.

But, the New Jersey man got a letter last July informing him that a grand jury had indicted him on charges of felony burglary and unlawful surveillance for the April 2016 incident.

“I feel like it’s unjust what they’re doing to me,” said Sean, 37, to the New York Post in September. “It’s like I’m being punished twice.”

He appeared in court in September, where he pleaded not guilty. His second appearance happened on Friday.

“I was in fear,” Lopez testified of the moment when Sean caught him in bed with his wife. “I kept telling him, you need to get out of here,” Lopez told the jury hearing the felony and burglary case.

The incident left Lopez traumatized. “I couldn’t go to sleep. I had repeated memories of what occurred. I started to go through the house and check all the doors and make sure they were locked,” he said.

Lopez also noted that Nancy said they were separated, and he thought Sean was out of the picture.

Sean’s lawyer, Howard Greenberg, told jurors that he actually “deserves a medal,” not a prison sentence, for uncovering his wife’s unfaithfulness without physically harming his rival.

However, despite the fact that Lopez slept with Sean’s wife, prosecutor Nabeela Mcleod, asserted that Lopez was a victim — a victim of Sean’s breaking and entering his home and recording him and Nancy without their consent (Sean shared the videos with his wife’s relatives).

Sean now faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
