A former Deputy Minister of Information Mr James Ageynim-Boateng said how many of the holier-than-thou complaining about Akuapem Poloo don’t watch nude photos on online.

His comments follow the sentencing of actress Akuapem Poloo to three month imprisonment today.

“How many mothers hide their nudity from their sons and daughter? (Of course, this got published). And how many of the holier-than-thou complaining bunch don’t feast their eyes on nude photos from online, print and other sources? Spare a thought for #AkuapemPoloo and her son,” Mr Ageynim-Boateng said in a tweet.

He added, “This is not about Akuapem Poloo. This is not about a bad or an unfair court (the court follows the dictates of the law). This is about calling for reforms in our criminal justice system. For how long will people be jailed because of situations like Akuapem Poloo found herself in?”

The social media personality was convicted on charges of publication of obscene material and domestic violence.

Widely known as Akuapem Poloo, Rosemond Brown was found guilty of posting a nude photo of herself and her seven-year-old son on his birthday back on June 30, 2020.

The complainant in the case was Bright Appiah, who is the Director of Child Rights International Ghana.

He petitioned the police after the photo went viral on social media, and the matter was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU).

She was handed her sentence today, Friday, April 16, 2021, by an Accra circuit court.

The prosecution said Rosemund after her arrest in 2020 admitted posting the nude picture with her son but insisted she did so unintentionally.

A write-up accompanying the picture read: “I am naked in front of you because this is how naked I was giving birth to you, so in case you find me lying somewhere don't pass by but see me as your mom who brought you to life.”

The prosecution held that Rosemond deliberately posted the pictures on social media.
