KOP man pleads guilty to hiding camera in neighbor’s apartment, stealing intimate items

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — A 28-year-old man has pleaded guilty to breaking into his neighbors’ apartments to steal intimate items, and to hiding a camera in one of those apartments to secretly record a woman.

The investigation started when a woman in the Kingswood Apartment complex in King of Prussia found a phone charger with a hidden camera in her studio apartment .

Police say in Ryan Selleny’s bedroom — located in the same complex — they found her underwear and other intimate objects from her apartment in ziplock bags, along with illicit videos Selleny had taken of himself in her apartment inserting bodily fluids into a water bottle and a juice carton, beverages the woman later unknowingly drank.

While Selleny faces what prosecutor Lauren Marvel calls a “significant” prison sentence and will have to register as a sex offender on Megan’s List, the most serious charge he faces is burglary.

“I think sometimes the law doesn’t really anticipate certain conduct, and what the defendant did here is, I think, beyond what the law would usually anticipate for a burglary, and I think it’s beyond what the law would usually anticipate for an indecent assault,” Marvel said.
