On Jan. 17, 2015, plaintiff Jeremy Raines, 35, a retail and theater worker, and his wife, plaintiff Rebecca Raines, 35, a theater worker, discovered hidden cameras installed in their North Hollywood apartment. The Raineses previously lived in the apartment, which was located in a five bedroom house owned by Daniel Lima, but they moved out for two months. When they moved back in on Jan. 17, 2015, they discovered the cameras in their bedroom and bathroom. The Raineses called the police and moved out that same night, and the cameras were removed once the police arrived. The Raineses sued Daniel Lima; Daniel Lima’s son, who also lived in the house, Leonard Lima; and two other members of the Lima family, David Lima and Ester Lima. The Raineses claimed the Limas’ actions constituted an invasion of property and negligent infliction of emotional distress. David Lima and Ester Lima were dismissed form the case before trial. Daniel and Leonard Lima denied ever installing the cameras., The Raineses alleged that they feared they were videotaped for the few hours before the cameras were discovered. They claimed that as a result, they suffered from emotional distress. They did not seek counseling, but they claimed they wanted to. Defense counsel contended that the Raineses only found cameras on the one occasion and that they only would have been videotaped for a few hours, if at all. Counsel argued that if Daniel and Leonard Lima were found liable, the Raineses should only be awarded a maximum of $2,500.
