Doctor's double life exposed after hidden camera discovery leads to prison murder plot

Stacey Rutherford believed she had found “a gold mine” when she married Justin Rutherford.

In 2021, a mother of four from Pennsylvania uncovered a disturbing secret that would turn her world upside down. Concealed within the bathroom of their home was a hidden camera, surreptitiously placed by her second husband, a well-regarded doctor in the community. Police revealed that it had recorded for years. This initial betrayal devolved into an even more sinister revelation.

Justin, 36, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing his stepson and another minor, and was later convicted in a murder-for-hire plot. The disgraced doctor’s twisted double life — and his family’s fight to reclaim their story — are now the focus of the ABC News Studios’ true crime docuseries streaming on Hulu, “Betrayal: Under His Eye.”

“When I had to go through photos for the documentary, it was very difficult,” said Rutherford. “Tyler was always a big snuggler, and he would snuggle on the couch with me. He’d snuggle on the couch with Justin. … Looking at the photos now, it makes me sick. When I initially took them, I thought they were very sweet photos of my children being loved by a stepparent.

“Tyler always had friends over for games or to get in the pool with us. And Justin wasn’t throwing himself at the kids. It was like the big brother wanting to play video games, and they didn’t want him there. I saw those things as innocent. But I’m trying not to take every single memory and twist it. I’m trying to let it be what it was for us at the time.”

Following Justin’s conviction, the family kept tight-lipped about what happened to them. But now, they’re coming forward in hopes it will help other survivors speak out and for parents to be vigilant.

“Have conversations with your kids,” said Rutherford. “It’s not only creepy weirdos who molest kids. This stuff goes on inside good homes. It can happen anywhere. It can happen inside your home. I never thought something like this would happen to me.”

“Betrayal: Under His Eye” is streaming on Hulu.
