Yes, scandal can be reporting the truth to those who do not need to know it. If this truth causes a loss in faith in a person for who no need of that particular detail existed, the telling of same is wrong. So, for example, if I know that a neighbor is having an affair, telling random people that truth could be a sin.

Interesting, thanks for the response..

Just so I understand your response correctly, are you saying that this author is stating that he may be sinning by telling the public about the activities he is describing (i.e. the public does not need to know)?

Who would be the decision-maker concerning the public's "need to know"?

Yes.
