Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin P. Holihan has announced a Slatington man charged with invasion of privacy and related offenses has been convicted by a jury of all charges.<\/p>\n
Jarrett Klinger, 43, was convicted by a jury of all charges including misdemeanor<\/p>\n
charges of three counts of invasion of privacy, and one count each of unlawful dissemination of<\/p>\n
an intimate image and harassment.<\/p>\n
On July 25, 2022, an Upper Saucon Township resident told police that Klinger, her ex-boyfriend,<\/p>\n
was harassing her. The investigation revealed Klinger sent the victim a video of them engaging<\/p>\n
in sexual contact and threatened to release that and other videos if she didn\u2019t meet with him or talk to him.<\/p>\n
That threat prompted the victim to file a report with police.<\/p>\n
During the course of that investigation, police obtained a search warrant for Klinger\u2019s cellphone. The device was analyzed by the Officer David M. Petzold Digital Forensics Laboratory of<\/p>\n
Lehigh County. That device contained two videos showing Klinger and the woman engaging in sexual contact. The woman told police the videos were made without her knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n
This case was investigated by Upper Saucon Township Police Sgt. Dane Carroll and Sgt. Deron<\/p>\n
Dorward and was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney \u2013 Special Victims Unit Sarah K.<\/p>\n
Heimbach.<\/p>\n
Klinger\u2019s sentencing and a hearing to determine if he meets the requirements for a sexually<\/p>\n
violent predator is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Aug. 26, before Judge Anthony. The defendant<\/p>\n
could face a maximum sentence of 7 to 14 years in state prison.<\/p>\n
Klinger was charged in two separate criminal cases involving the same victim, who is known to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published June 09. 2026 01:44PM Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin P.
