Former Calgary Stampeders running back, 37-year-old Jerome Messam received an 18-month suspended sentence after he pled guilty to a voyeurism charge earlier in 2021. While Messam will not be going to jail, he will nonetheless have a criminal record.
"The bottom line is that offences of this nature must be significantly denunciated and deterred." In February 2017, the victim learned of the existence of the video recording after Messam had sent four short video clips of their tryst over Snapchat. Messam and the victim, whose name is under a publication ban, had followed each other on social media in November 2016 before they arranged to meet.
