Clarified by Christy Marx herself

Jerrica/Jem would have never told Riot her true identity. She would have no reason to trust him with that information.

There was a little heated debate about this issue on YouTube that stemmed from a comment I made on a Stingers-centric "Jem" episode (some fans think since Jem and Riot were "oh-so-perfect" for each other, he would've accepted it better than Rio would have). So I just fielded that question to Christy on the Yahoo group, and she responded.

Makes sense. I mean, if I were her, I'd have a hard time trusting Riot after spiriting me away to a deserted island against my will.

But this does give me pause for a good fanfic idea. *rubs hand together gleefully*

Stingers-centric episodes should be starting this week on the Hub!
