CALGARY — Former CFL running back Jerome Messam has pleaded guilty to voyeurism after videotaping a consensual sexual encounter without the woman’s permission.

Messam appeared via a video link in a Calgary courtroom today to enter the guilty plea.

She later made a formal complaint to police and the Canadian Football League.
