(AP) -A state appeals court says a man didn't have a constitutional right to view pornography on a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire library computer.UW-Eau Claire police cited David Reidinger for disorderly conduct in 2014 after a couple of students reported he was watching pornography on a library computer. Reidinger argued he has a First Amendment right to view legal adult pornographic material at a public library. He also alleged UW System administrators, campus police and Eau Claire County prosecutors conspired to harass him.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals rejected his arguments Tuesday, ruling that the evidence showed Reidinger's conduct tended to provoke a disturbance. The court opted not to address his harassment allegations, calling them unsupported and undeveloped.
