According to Gwinnett County police, Klein and Hoxha had together arranged for the minor girl to travel from Texas to Atlanta in July to meet the man for sex in a hotel room. The two suspects paid for the hotel room together. In early September, the investigation began after the Arlington Police Department in Texas contacted the Gwinnett Police Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. A warrant was subsequently executed at Hoxha's apartment on Appaloosa Lane in Buford. Police discovered a huge amount of cash and several sexually explicit photos depicting Klein's daughter at his home.
The investigation also found that Hoxha has been exchanging sexually explicit messages with the underage victim prior to her trip to Georgia. On December 15, Hoxha was released from the Gwinnett County jail. Klein remains at the Santa Rosa County jail in Florida without bond. She is set to be extradited to Georgia.
