Upon searching the home, investigators said they found “several clandestine recording devices.”

As a result, Robinson was arrested and now faces a charge of attempted video voyeurism involving a minor under 16 years of age. He was released on Wednesday on bond of $10,000.

“Further investigation is being conducted to ensure that (Robinson) did not commit other voyeurism-related crimes,” the release reads. “We commend the victim for having the courage to report this incident to law enforcement.”
