Your kidding, right? Trying to prove this to you, whoever you are, does not rise to the level of exposing that kind of personal information, even through email. You can accept or reject it as it stands. Ask around though, you might get educated. It is, in fact, quite common, in a relative way. The courts can justify some of the most inane decisions I've ever seen on flimsy heresay. Happens all the time.
