I'm not sure, but it's possible that Todd could still win the case under qualified business privilege.

But what if Todd didn't know his conduct was illegal? Would that change things?

Wow, this is a tricky one. I think Todd is in hot water here. Blocking someone from leaving an interview is a big no-no, even if they're a fraud suspect. That's just asking for trouble.

I think Todd might lose the case if he restrained Janessa without consent.
