A Palm Beach man is facing a felony charge after deputies say a hidden Ring camera was discovered in his former partner's bedroom and later found to contain recordings of her made without her knowledge.
Investigators say 49-year-old Sinturious Wright was taken into custody on April 9 following an investigation that began in February. Detectives recovered video from the concealed device that, according to the sheriff's office account, shows the woman being secretly recorded in a private space.
According to Tampa Free Press, the ex-partner told investigators she heard a voice coming from the camera and recognized it as Wright's. She reportedly found the device on a shelf with only its lens exposed, tucked behind another object. The outlet reports the couple ended their relationship in February 2025 and that the woman had recently allowed Wright back into the home so he could assemble a toy for one of their children. Tampa Free Press also notes that Wright later met with detectives and provided video clips he had obtained from the Ring camera, which investigators say was motion-activated and captured her without consent.
Public booking logs list Sinturious L. Wright as booked on April 9 on a charge described as digital voyeurism, according to Palm Beach Busts. Those entries classify the offense under sex-related charges and match the stated timeline of the sheriff's investigation. Wright faces a felony count of digital voyeurism, and the case remains under review by local prosecutors.
What Florida law says
Under Florida Statutes, digital voyeurism covers intentionally using an imaging device to secretly view, record, or broadcast a person who has a reasonable expectation of privacy. When the accused is 19 or older, the crime is generally classified as a third-degree felony. Penalties for a third-degree felony in Florida can include prison time and fines, as laid out in the state's sentencing guidelines.
How to spot hidden cameras
Law enforcement and security professionals warn that small cameras are often disguised as everyday household items, including phone chargers, alarm clocks, or smoke detectors. They recommend looking for duplicate devices in a room, unexpected or messy wiring, or tiny lenses that reflect light when you shine a flashlight across surfaces. Officials also emphasize that if you suspect a hidden camera, you should avoid tampering with it and contact police instead. For more practical detection tips, see FOX 35 Orlando.
Detectives say their investigation into the case is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to reach out to local law enforcement. This story will be updated as additional official records or court filings become available.
