Former Nashville personal trainer accused of stealing nude photos sentenced

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Nikko Glasper, once named one of Nashville’s most popular trainers, was sentenced Thursday afternoon to nearly a year in prison.

Glasper pleaded guilty in January to criminal charges after being accused of taking naked photos of female clients without their knowledge and accessing their personal phones to steal intimate photos. Originally charged with 139 criminal counts, Glasper pleaded guilty to just 18 as part of a deal with prosecutors.

After serving his jail time, he will serve three years on probation in which he will be forbidden from working as a trainer.

WSMV4 Investigates earlier confirmed 15 women claim Glasper took photos of them and stole their intimate photos. Among one detective’s discoveries: Glasper kept a secret Dropbox file of the women titled “Naughty Scans.”

Glasper was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail.

In court, several of his victims submitted victim impact statements, including one that called Glasper a predator.

“I feel violated, betrayed, and exploited,” said Nikke Ryner, one of his former clients. “Even being on an elevator with a man makes my heart race in fear.”

A series of WSMV4 Investigations revealed that Glasper admitting to “making terrible decisions” and finding him working at a gym while his trial was pending.

Before the sentencing, Glasper addressed the judge.

“What could have possessed me to do it. What is the reason behind it. And I truly have no answer to it,” Glasper said. “I can only ask, at some point, not today not anytime in the near future, for forgiveness for this.”
