Kasthu, I don't think that telling the whole truth necessarily serves you

Your temp assignment has ended and honestly I think he crossed the line in treating you as as an "office wife", running personal errands off the clock.  Forget it, they can't touch you now, you're done.   There's no legal liability for the camera.  He has to prove you had it, and I doubt he'd want to pursue it. Worst case scenario, you won't get any further work from that agency.  Don't disclose too much, it could be used against you and it's not in your best interests.

Screw him, that bridge is burnt.

Even though I never read the book, I like the title.

It's Always Best ...
... to tell the truth. Even if it might have adverse consequences. I'd tell the temp agency that you are sorry, but the camera was disposed of when you left the place, partly because you were angry about how he had treated you. It would be more likely to have impact if you'd complained about him at the time, but now it will be out in the open. Offering to pay for the dispo-cam is, of course, a wise gesture to make at this point.
