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.

Jarrett Klinger, 43, was convicted by a jury of all charges including misdemeanor

charges of three counts of invasion of privacy, and one count each of unlawful dissemination of

an intimate image and harassment.

On July 25, 2022, an Upper Saucon Township resident told police that Klinger, her ex-boyfriend,

was harassing her. The investigation revealed Klinger sent the victim a video of them engaging

in sexual contact and threatened to release that and other videos if she didn’t meet with him or talk to him.

That threat prompted the victim to file a report with police.

During the course of that investigation, police obtained a search warrant for Klinger’s cellphone. The device was analyzed by the Officer David M. Petzold Digital Forensics Laboratory of

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.

This case was investigated by Upper Saucon Township Police Sgt. Dane Carroll and Sgt. Deron

Dorward and was prosecuted by Senior Deputy District Attorney – Special Victims Unit Sarah K.

Heimbach.

Klinger’s sentencing and a hearing to determine if he meets the requirements for a sexually

violent predator is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Aug. 26, before Judge Anthony. The defendant

could face a maximum sentence of 7 to 14 years in state prison.

Klinger was charged in two separate criminal cases involving the same victim, who is known to him.
