York County man pleads guilty to recording nude women in college dorm: Lancaster County DA
A York County man has pleaded guilty in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas to secretly recording nude students in a college dormitory, according to the district attorney's office.
John James Riley, 20, of York Township, is accused of hiding a camera in multiple locations in the shower area of a women's dormitory at Franklin & Marshall College and recording the students in various states of nudity, a news release states. The offenses occurred during the fall semester in 2023.
Authorities allege Riley, who was a student at the college at the time, amassed more than 1,000 separate recordings — both audio and visual — of numerous women, the release states. None of them had consented to the recordings. They turned the camera over to campus security when they found it, and the Lancaster City Bureau of Police investigated the case.
Riley allegedly told police that he used the recordings for sexual gratification, the news release states.
Riley was removed from campus, an F&M College spokesman said at the time.
Riley pleaded guilty on June 17 to 19 counts of intercepting communications, 19 counts of criminal use of a communication facility, 19 counts of invasion of privacy and two counts of possession of an instrument of crime with intent to use it criminally, the news release states.
He will face sentencing by Judge Dennis Reinaker after a 90-day pre-sentence investigation, the release states.
