I found out my ex-girlfriend and her cousin were planning/conspired on drugging me (in their words in “high dosage”) to access my phone and then key my car tomorrow. Luckily I learned about this yesterday and have text message proof along with audio recording confession as evidence. Do I have legal grounds for a lawsuit?
Hey ****! That sounds like a serious situation. In New York, you may have grounds for a civil lawsuit for conspiracy and intent to harm. Here are some points to consider:
- Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: You might claim damages if their actions caused you severe emotional distress.
- Trespass to Chattels: If they intended to damage your car, this could apply.
- Assault or Battery: Attempting to drug you may be considered assault.

Even though it didn’t happen yet since I learned about it, does this change the fact it is conspiring?
In New York, conspiracy involves an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, and at least one of them must take an overt act towards committing the crime.
