Man Busted For Posting Nude Pictures

THE CYBERCRIME
Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police
Service has arrested the suspect who allegedly posted nude pictures of five
women on the Internet.

The suspect (name
withheld by police) was arrested at Burma Camp where he resides. He was alleged
to have posted pictures of all the five women on three different websites.

In an interview,
the Director in charge of the Cybercrime Unit of the CID, Assistant
Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dr. Gustav Herbert Yankson, said the victims
involved included three minors, aged 12, 13 and 16 years old, and two adults belonging
to the same family. They all reside at Burma Camp, closer to where the suspect lives.

He said on September
5, 2019, the police received formal complaints from the victims that someone
had secretly taken their nude pictures while they were having their bath, and
posted them on three Internet websites.

The police, upon
receiving the information, visited the three websites and discovered the
pictures. Upon interrogation, the victims said they had no knowledge of the
pictures and did not know who did that.

“Our
investigations, therefore, led to the arrest of the suspect who also lives
close to where the victims live. Some of the pictures, according to the
director in charge of the Cybercrime Unit, were again found on the mobile phone
of the suspect.

“Upon
interrogation, the suspect confessed to the police that he secretly took the
pictures of the victims while they were having their bath,” he narrated.

He said he
decided to post the pictures on the Internet to punish them for always
disturbing him when he wanted to take a nap.

The suspect has
provisionally been charged for child pornography and publication of obscene
materials. He will be put before court soon.

Dr. Yankson has,
therefore, charged the youth to desist from posting nude pictures of people on
the Internet since that was a crime.

Meanwhile, DAILY
GUIDE
also gathered that some friends and families of the victims, upon
hearing the news that it was the suspect who posted the pictures on the Internet,
brutally assaulted him.

The information indicated that some of the sympathizers of the five women stoked the penis of the suspect, who was on admission at a health facility in Accra at the time of filing this report.
