As I said in other threads, whether it is a crime depends entirely on how they got access to the messages.
From the Auburn AD's standpoint, there isn't a good answer.
Option A is that she left an unlocked phone unattended in a public place. In that case, there's not going to be a crime on the part of the girls but you've got a high level AD employee telling them to get rid of evidence proving violations of University policy and possible Title IX violations.
Option B is that they somehow took the device and a gained access in a way that could be criminal. In that case, the high level AD employee is not only ignoring the previously mentioned activity she's also directing the coverup of criminal activity and destroying evidence.

Read my last post on page 1. It is a crime.

You should probably read your link. None of the laws they mention cover this situation.

This is EXACTLY the situation. The girls took a screenshot of texts, from off of the girls phone who was having an affair with the coach, and turned her in. They wanted her off of the team.
ETA and the AAD told them to delete the the texts because it was against the law how they got them.

The actions of the A Dept., the coach, the player and the team mates were all wrong.
The most reprehensible actions were by the AD trying to destroy evidence by use of threats.

You bama fans can't read for shite. 
ETA so you are saying I can pick up your phone, if you leave it on a table, and take screenshots of your texts......and that isn't against the law?

The law makes it illegal to disseminate the pictures of the texts. It's not illegal to take them.

They were using them against her. That is blackmail.

We'll see how it pans out. I've got almost 20 years working for a place that prosecutes these cases. I'll take that experience over a Quora link.

Am I the only person in here bothered by MrAUTigers defending not only the affair of an assistant coach with a subordinate AND his sexual harassment of other players by deflecting attention onto innocent girls?

The big money thrown around in softball has corrupted Auburn fans.

I'm not defending him. He was fired, and rightly so. He broke no laws. He broke no NCAA rules. The players who took screenshots off of the phone were the ones who broke the law. They were told to delete them. The texts weren't deleted so the coach could keep his job. They were deleted to protect the girls who broke the law.........unknowingly

They were using them against Corey, not the player. And blackmail involves keeping the affair secret in exchange for monetary or other consideration.
They were attempting to expose the affair. If they distributed the images they took, then yes, they might possibly have broken a law, but it wasn't blackmail.

Well then how did anybody in the Auburn AD find out what was going on if the images weren't used?

You can't honestly believe that I have the right to go through your phone, take screenshots of your texts, just because you left it on the table in a restaurant.

That's not criminal extortion. That's reporting serious violations of university policy to the proper authorities.

You can't have it both ways.
The means by which they got the info was against the law.
The coach was fired for breaking University policy. He broke no laws or NCAA rules.
