A California man hid a camera in his guest bathroom and was found in possession of more than 900 images of child pornography, according to Redding city cops. His wife reported him after discovering the device, officers say.

Police said the woman contacted them in March. She said she discovered a hidden camera in the guest bathroom of her home. She confronted her husband Ryan Rovito, 34, about the device, officers said.

“Mr. Rovito admitted knowledge of the camera but vowed to remove and dispose of it,” officers wrote. “Wife seized the camera and hard drive it was connected to before Mr. Rovito destroyed it and then contacted the Redding Police Department, fearing that Mr. Rovito had harmfully recorded their young children using the bathroom.Redding Police detectives obtained a search warrant for electronic devices and high-tech crime detectives conducted a preliminary forensic analysis of the items.
