ANalysis US judges have shut down an appeal from a convicted pedophile who claimed the FBI hacking of his computer was an illegal and unreasonable search.

Gabriel Werdene, 53, of Bucks County, Philadelphia, is serving two years in a federal prison for rummaging through the Playpen dark-web filth souk for images and footage of child sexual abuse. Copies of the banned material were found on a DVD and USB drive at his home by the Feds during a sting operation in 2015.
