The phone was seized when Malinguaggio was arrested earlier this year on child sex abuse charges.
Malinguaggio was accused in January of abusing a girl under the age of 10 between March 18, 2020, and Sept. 13, 2022, and was charged with aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and incest.
The investigation continues and additional charges are pending.
