Roughriders release Canadian running back Messam following voyeurism charge
REGINA — Jerome Messam’s second stint with the Saskatchewan Roughriders has come to an abrupt end after the Canadian running back was charged with voyeurism.
The Riders announced via Twitter on Monday that the hard-running veteran had been released “after he has been criminally charged following an incident in November 2016.” The CFL said in a separate statement that the charge was voyeurism.
The league said it will not register a contract for Messam should any team attempt to sign him.
Both the Roughriders and CFL said they will not have further comment as the matter is now before the court.
