Bowman took Scott-Railton aside and told him about the undercover researcher and their relationship. At the lunch, the reporter saw a white-haired man wearing a long-sleeved shirt, black pants and a hoodie. He asked Lambert to show him the undercover researcher's camera, Scott, who told him to show it to him. "That was a very nice gesture," Lambert said.

Scott-Railton later contacted a third Citizen Lab researcher, who asked him to show the recording device to Bowman. After Scott-Railton told the undercover investigator that it was a "very nice gesture," he agreed to show it to the undercover researcher as well, Scott-Railton said.

As the man asked, Bowman told Bowman that he believed the undercover researcher had been "shouting at me" about a "very nice gesture from the guy on the couch and that he was actually talking to me."

Bowman then put on his microphone and told Scott-Railton he wanted the undercover researcher to give him a transcript of the meeting. Bowman told Scott-Railton that it had been taped. Scott-Railton then asked him if he wanted to continue the recording, but Bowman said no. Scott-Railton continued to insist the recording be recorded, and the recording continued on.

Scott-Railton was arrested, charged with "improperly recording a person." A judge ordered his detention, and the man sent to prison for a year. Bowman was released, and he had his first chance to appeal, which is a great honor.

Scott-Railton was released from prison on May 27, 2012, and has a new lawyer representing him on his appeal.
