My Experience with Charles Sealy III — A Cautionary Account

This page describes my personal experience, a financial dispute I have with a former partner, my ex-fiance and the documentation I possess. It is written in my voice and intended to warn others and provide context. This is not a legal judgment — if you need legal advice, consult an attorney.

I am naming the person involved because I believe transparency helps others make informed decisions. The individual named below is who I dealt with in this dispute:

• Name: Charles Sealy III
• Background I am aware of: Former national track & field athlete for the Bahamas.

Note: the facts here reflect information I encountered during our relationship and are included to help others verify independently if they choose to.

I was engaged to Charles for a year. He proposed in December 2023. We would visit each other going back and forth from Toronto and back to Bahamas for 2 years. During that time I covered shared living expenses, bills, and other costs on his behalf. Over time I tracked these expenses in a spreadsheet and later obtained a written acknowledgment from him regarding the outstanding balance.

I am recounting this to caution others: it is my experience and the documentation I hold supports the financial claim described below.

The end of our relationship was the result of repeated experiences that affected my trust, my emotional well-being, and my financial stability. The following points are based on my personal experiences and the documentation and conversations I personally witnessed or was directly involved in:

• I was told by a neighbor about a civil dispute involving Charles related to payment for personal training services that were not fulfilled as agreed. I was not a party to this dispute and cannot independently verify every detail, but I observed the surrounding stress and conversations at the time. My understanding is that the matter was eventually resolved financially by his family.
• During our relationship, I referred clients to Charles for personal training. Some of those individuals later told me directly that they paid for services they felt were not completed or delivered as agreed. I am not making any legal claims on their behalf; I am simply stating that they came to me with their experiences.
• In July/August 2024, while we were engaged, I personally discovered explicit recordings on my own device of Charles with another woman. The emotional impact of that discovery was deeply destabilizing and contributed significantly to the breakdown of trust in our relationship.
• In February 2025, I became aware of a publicly-reported legal matter involving Charles. According to The Tribune (Bahamas), Charles is currently facing an allegation and ongoing legal proceedings. I am not involved in the case and I am not asserting guilt or innocence — the matter is ongoing.

According to a written agreement in my possession, Charles acknowledged a debt to me of CAD $20,000. This amount reflects expenses I covered while we cohabited and other related costs I recorded in my spreadsheet.

If you are considering interacting with this person financially, please review the evidence carefully and proceed with caution.

• MAR 2021: Relationship begins.
• OCT 2022: Charles would visit and stay with me for lengthened periods of time; I was encouraged to cover expenses.
• JUN 2023: I begin a running spreadsheet tracking expenses.
• DEC 2023: Charles proposed and we got engaged.
• APRIL 2024: I was told about a civil dispute involving my neighbour, related to a cash advance Charles accepted for personal training services that were not completed.
• MAY 2024: Signed acknowledgment of debt provided by Charles (copy available).
• JULY 2024: Multiple videos found on my ipad device of infidelity and sexual encounters with another woman.
• FEB 2025: Public Record of ongoing legal battles of accused indecent assault
• PRESENT DAY: Debt remains outstanding; attempts to resolve have not resulted in full repayment.

In addition to the financial loss, the experience affected me emotionally and disrupted my finances and sense of trust. I share this part of my story to let others know the real costs — emotional and monetary — of living with someone who does not meet their financial obligations.

This is my perspective and my lived experience.

If you are in a similar situation, consider the following actions:

• Keep written records: collect receipts, spreadsheets, messages, and signed acknowledgements.
• Speak to a lawyer or legal clinic about small claims or debt collection options in your jurisdiction.
• Consider mediation or a demand letter before escalating to formal legal action.
• Reach out to trusted friends, family, or support groups for emotional support.
