Akuapem Poloo jailed 90-days over nude photo with son
“Mummy please, Mummy, I beg you, Mummy please” were the words of Actress Rosemond Alade Brown, aka Akuapem Poloo when the court slapped her with a 90 days imprisonment for the publication of a nude picture with her seven-year-old son in June, 2020.
In an emotional atmosphere, lawyer for the convict, Mr Andy Vortia along with other lawyers who were present at the court prayed independently to the court for a non-custodial sentence but the court held that a harsh sentence must be passed to serve as a deterrent for would be offenders.
The court held that the prevalence of publications of material with the potential to corrupt public morals in the country and which affected children’s best interest, right to privacy and dignity as well as the country’s moral image needed to be curbed, reports Graphic Online’s Justice Agbenorsi who was in the courtroom.
Ms Christiana Cann, the judge, therefore sentenced her to 90 days in prison each for all three counts which are to run concurrently.
