benefits Intrusion of solitude and seclusion Intrusion of solitude occurs where one person intrudes upon the private affairs of another. In a famous case from 1944, author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was sued by Zelma Cason, who was portrayed as a character in Rawlings' acclaimed memoir, Cross Creek. The Florida Supreme Court held that a cause of action for invasion of privacy was supported by the facts of the case, but in a later proceeding found that there were no actual damages.

The First Amendment is not a license to trespass, to steal, or to intrude by electronic means into the precincts of another's home or office.Dietemann v. Time Inc. (9th Cir. 1971) Public disclosure of private facts Public disclosure of private facts arises where one person reveals information which is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person.
