Ex-Grizzlies PA announcer gets 60 days, must register as a sex offender for 'up skirt' videos

Rick Trotter, once the voice of the Memphis Grizzlies, was sentenced last week to 60 days behind bars after pleading guilty to four counts of photographing people without their consent, a Class A misdemeanor.

After his 60 days at the Shelby County Correctional Center, Trotter will remain on probation until May 1, 2022, and must register as a nonviolent sex offender, court records state. He is also ordered to have no contact with the victims.

Trotter, 41, whose legal name is Dwayne Trotter, was arrested on Aug. 9, 2016. According the arrest affidavit, he was caught kneeling behind a woman with his cellphone making an "up skirt" video during services at the Downtown Church, where he was an employee.

And in May 2016, four women signed a statement confirming they were the individuals on the videos found on Trotter’s church-issued laptop.

After his arrest, Trotter waived his rights and admitted in a written statement to videoing those women with his cell phone.

Trotter was fired by the Grizzlies a month before his arrest. He joined the Grizzlies in 2006.

He was formerly employed by Fellowship Memphis, where several women and minors said he used a hidden camera in a restroom to record them. Trotter was let go by the church, but no charges were filed.

Those women told The Commercial Appeal they were discouraged by church officials from filing charges to avoid affecting Trotter's life and career.

Trotter is scheduled to report to the correctional center on May 21.
