A California man was arrested for allegedly possessing more than 900 child pornography images after his wife found a hidden camera in their home and contacted authorities.
Ryan Rovito, 34, was confronted by his wife on March 8 after she discovered the camera in their home’s guest bathroom, according to the Redding Police Department. He admitted to knowing about the camera and said he would throw it away, but his wife had seized it and the hard drive it was connected to.
His wife contacted police over concerns that he had recorded their young children using the bathroom.
