What do you mean "crime"? Do you mean this isn't a civil action case and is actually criminal? Is speech now a crime on planet Not? Did people suddenly become incapable of having opinions that haven't been fact checked by authorised bias sources become a criminal act? Where's your soma old chap? Are you a madman?

What do you mean "crime"?

An illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government

Do you mean this isn't a civil action case and is actually criminal?

This is a civil case. No one should have had the medical records of the people he was harassing that were on his phone. Having them was a crime, for which I hope he will be charged.

Is speech now a crime on planet Not?

Not generally. Some speech is a crime. Inciting violence, for instance. Which Trump may find out about now that he's been subpoenaed by the January 6 congressional committee.

Did people suddenly become incapable of having opinions that haven't been fact checked by authorised bias sources become a criminal act?

No. Obtaining or sharing personal medical records is a criminal act.

Those are strictly private, and that is protected by law. No one should have them, except doctors and specialists involved the the diagnosis and treatment.

I think that this is pretty clear. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
