He’ll get off this charge easy. It’s his phone he can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with it. Wiping your phone is not an illegal act.

If he had received a valid court order to not delete anything on his phone, then doing so could put him in legal trouble. So what you said is not true in general. But most of the time, for almost everyone, almost all of the time, then, yes, it’s okay to wipe your phone… And because the article did not mention a court order, we can be sure that there wasn’t one.
