The Pennsylvania Superior Court has upheld the warrantless search of a cellphone belonging to a man who left it to surreptitiously record people in a dormitory bathroom at Villanova University.

A three-judge panel consisting of Judges Alice Dubow, Paula Francisco Ott and Correale Stevens affirmed a Delaware County judge’s denial of defendant Vincent Kane’s motion to suppress evidence derived from the warrantless search of his abandoned cellphone and the search of the external hard drive of his computer pursuant to a search warrant.
