Yes. If it can be proven that the computer and all accessories are owned by both of you, then he is entitled to use anything on it per his share. If you feel that it was intended as an act of voyerism and feel your privacy was intentionally violated, contact a lawer and/or law enforcement. But, if his name was on the lease or the two of you had a contract involving rental arrangements, he could easily argue that it's his home too and has just as much right to view it in any way he sees fit as you do. I know it sucks, but the law is written that way: to benefit some and screw over the rest!
