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 cops in the city of Redding. His wife turned him in after discovering the device, officers claim.

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

“Mr. Rovito admitted knowledge of the camera but vowed to remove and discard it,” officers wrote. “The wife seized the camera and hard drive it had been connected to before Mr. Rovito destroyed it and subsequently contacted the Redding Police Department, fearing Mr. Rovito had nefariously recorded their young children using the bathroom. Redding Police Detectives obtained a search warrant for the electronics, and High-Tech Crimes Detectives performed a preliminary forensic analysis of the items.”
