There is a lot it could be, but besides the fact that what he did (by invading your privacy) was so'ooo wrong, it could be that he has some sort of agenda to push with someone!
You're right, this sounds complex and simple solutions aren't "simple" to come by. If the guy you want to hire would make you a really good employee, which should be the major factor, you could have some sort of "light talk" as part of the pre-hire process, and then work in (delicatley) that you understand (or definitely know) that "johnny-employee-prospect" is friends with "jerkoff-snoop." You could then say that you'd hate to loose a good prospect over something that somebody else did, but that "jerkoff-snoop" did something devious and very wrong (invading your property the way he did), and (slight "ahem-type" laugh inserted here) in the process of invading your space in a devious way, he happened to see your Haloween pictures from (insert 2 or something) years ago -- AND that you and your SO have a problem with his having snooped; that he isn't trustworthy in your book, besides the fact that he must not have any sense of taste not to recognize real beauty! (Insert: laugh, laugh, laugh.)
In this manner you've let the guy know that the other man is POND SCUM, and (laughingly) obviously has NO taste.
See, without really being dishonest, you could put this totally on "jerkoff-snoop," makig him look bad, and presenting a plausible cover to the prospective employee without dwelling on it too much. IMO, this would work very well!!! Puts the onus on "jerkoff snoop" to defend his indefensible actions, and makes him look foolish for trying to make something out of nothing!!! Who knows, such a talk might reveal that the prospective employee thinks "jerkoof snoop" is bad news!!!
