    Towson University pulls out from an upcoming swim meet amid anger over a recording device found in a locker room.

    The cell phone was discovered last month by members of the women’s swim team.

    At least 10 women were in the Burdick Hall locker room when a cell phone was discovered, allegedly recording the athletes during one of the most vulnerable times.

    While the university has not confirmed what is on the recording at least seven of the women claim their images were captured.
