The crime in question allegedly occurred on Friday, July 14, 2023 when a patient of Kline found a hanger that appeared to act as a hidden camera, complete with a USB port, an SD memory card, a power switch and a small camera.

The patient in question told his family about his discovery, at which point the patient’s father and a friend went to confront Scott Kline. Kline did not deny the allegations, instead pleading with the men to not take action since he has a family. He attempted to settle the matter privately. Meanwhile, the patient took photos and videos of the device he found and reported it to the police.

The police, upon conducting a search, found that while the camera had been removed, the K9 unit found a camera that matched the description provided by the victim as well as a voluminous amount of home p*rnography. Ultimately, Kline was arrested and charged. His bail was pegged at $10,000 on the condition that Scott Kline is to not approach the victim.
