Civil trial against Greg Biffle underway (2nd Update)

Greg Biffle – Cameras were to catch his wife having an affair

UPDATE A North Carolina jury found former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle guilty of invasion of privacy Monday.

According to WSOC TV in Charlotte, the jury determined that Biffle did “intrude offensively upon the privacy" of his then-wife, Nicole, by installing cameras in their bedroom and bathroom.

However, the jury awarded Nicole Biffle only $1 in damages, and answered "No" on all other claims against the former driver. The plaintiff had sought $9 million in damages.

“What the jury said sends a loud message that they don’t believe there was wrong doing," Biffle said (via WSOC).

According to court documents, Biffle used the cameras to discover Nicole Biffle was having an affair. Biffle and his wife divorced in 2015.

During 12 days of testimony in the trial, Biffle denied doing anything inappropriate, and said his wife had been aware the cameras were there. He has sued the man she was having an affair with for alienation of affection for ending his marriage.

Nicole Biffle and her mother say in their lawsuit that Greg Biffle "has shown images captured by the hidden cameras to third persons."

In court Tuesday, Biffle "denied doing anything inappropriate" and testified that his wife knew about the cameras, WSOC-TV reported.

Nicole Biffle says in the lawsuit that she "has suffered loss of appetite, loss of sleep, pain in her abdomen, emotional distress, worry, humiliation, fear … and other anxiety-related conditions" as a result of the alleged secret filming.

Her mother suffered similar health problems, according to the lawsuit, "and was prescribed a drug for anxiety and tension in January 2016 as a result of the stress from being filmed."

The lawsuit, filed in Mecklenburg County Civil Superior Court in June 2017, seeks at least $100,000 in damages. Charlotte Observer
