In November 2024, the Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) was contacted by employees of a Martindale area St. Catharines commercial physical wellness and rehabilitation facility regarding a voyeurism complaint.

1 District (St. Catharines/Thorold) uniform officers initially responded, and the investigation was later assigned to detectives.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the physical wellness and rehabilitation facility had received information that adult females were being surreptitiously video recorded inside the business while in various stages of undress.

Detectives authored and executed multiple search warrants to gather evidence from social media platforms and internet service providers.

As a result, a male suspect was identified. The suspect had been working as an independent contractor at the facility, serving as both a personal trainer and manual osteopath.

On March 17, 2025, Nicholas Edward Jackson, 29, of St. Catharines, was arrested and charged with the following Criminal Code offences:

  • Voyeurism
  • Distributing an intimate image

Jackson was released on a Form 10 Undertaking with a future court date.

The investigation continued, including forensic analysis of Jackson’s seized electronic devices. During this process, detectives identified two additional victims.

On May 3, 2025, Nicholas Edward Jackson was arrested again and charged with the following additional Criminal Code offences:

  • Voyeurism (2 Counts)

Jackson was held in custody for a video bail hearing at the Robert S.K. Welch Courthouse in St. Catharines on May 3, 2025.

The Niagara Regional Police Service recognizes that this investigation may have a significant impact on both the victims and the community. We remain committed to supporting all affected individuals with compassion, sensitivity and respect as the investigation continues.

 Detectives continue to examine the contents of seized devices and believe that there may be more victims.  Detectives believe that Jackson was/is also working independently in the same capacity, outside of his contracted position at the physical wellness and rehabilitation facility.

The physical wellness and rehabilitation facility has been fully co-operative throughout the investigation. As additional victims are identified, detectives will contact them directly.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact investigators at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009994.
