District Court Judge Meghan Corbin filed a written ruling Monday. According to Corbin’s written ruling:
Bettendorf police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
According to the tip, a computer hacker in France hacked into the cameras of a home in Bettendorf and reported what he believed were people being unknowingly filmed in intimate moments.
Officers went to the location of the reported cameras, which were in Vanfossen’s Bettendorf home.
Officers searched the home and found two purported smoke detectors that appeared to contain a camera. The first camera was found in the second-floor hallway and the second camera was found inside a family member’s bedroom. more
