R' Amnon Yitzchok Ordered to Pay 22,000 Shekels for publicly reading intimate letters of a lady

 “The court ordered Rabbi Amnon Yitzchak to compensate a woman with 22,000 shekels after he humiliated her by publicly reading intimate letters. 

Rabbi Yitzchak claimed in his defense that the entire argument began over the question of whether the world is flat or round.”

But "how it began" is not why he was fined, he was fined because he publicly shamed a married women to thousands of people!
