A 20-year-old Margate man was arrested Wednesday, Nov. 12, and charged with two felony counts of digital voyeurism, according to a Margate Police Department arrest report. Jeremiah Jolicoeur was booked into the Broward County Main Jail.
A probable cause affidavit says a woman reported that Jolicoeur secretly recorded the two having consensual sex with his cellphone, then shared the footage without her knowledge. She did not learn about the recording until months later.
On Oct. 13, police said, Jolicoeur sent the video to the woman’s boyfriend during a three-way phone call and also gave it to another man. Detectives reviewed the footage, which briefly shows a man’s face that investigators said resembled Jolicoeur.
Police arrested Jolicoeur at his home on Nov. 12. According to the affidavit, he admitted recording the encounter and transferring the video during the October call. The charges are allegations at this stage.
The case is a reminder that recording someone in a sexual setting without consent and passing that material along can bring felony charges in Florida, even when the initial encounter was consensual.
