Winnipeg Jets confirm they have nothing to do with guy making creepy YouTube videos

Mr Jetz

Winnipeg’s local NHL team wants the public to know it has nothing to do with the skeevy guy posting inappropriate Jets-related material on YouTube.

This announcement comes on the heels of news that Winnipeg police are investigating a man filming and posting videos of young women under the name “MrJetztv.”

The subject of the investigation, 42-year-old Darrell Ackman, has posted several videos in which young women -- some teenage girls -- talk about the Winnipeg Jets (Ackman often appears wearing Jets gear and offering game tickets). One video involves an 18-year-old woman who told CBC News she doesn’t remember the night she was filmed.

Other MrJetzTV videos include footage of people inside bar bathrooms and women being filmed in gyms -- from outside the gyms.

Ackman told CBC he makes videos of “pretty people.”

“I’m born here and there’s multiculturalism here. Like, there’s native girls … in Florida, you don’t see no native girls,” he said. “It’s not just about girls; I have guys on there too.

“But I do like girls, and I like watching things like Girls Gone Wild. It’s one of my favorite things to watch.”

In a related story, there’s an active warrant for Ackman’s arrest in Florida, stemming from charges of deriving support from the proceeds of prostitution.

So, to recap: The Winnipeg Jets don’t have anything to do with the Girls Gone Wild enthusiast that’s facing prostitution-related charges while making weird videos around town.
