The police action is in response to a complaint that Serwaa Amihere filed. As per the charges sheet presented in court, Serwaa Amihere paid a ransom to prevent the release of the naked video.
However, the three accused individuals proceeded to disseminate the footage on social media after obtaining the GH¢20,000 payment they had requested.
They are accused of conspiring to commit a crime, specifically non-consensual sharing of personal images in violation of the Cybersecurity Act 2020 (Act 1038) and Section 67 (1)(2) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29). Additionally, they allegedly threatened to post the aforementioned footage on social media if Serwaa Amihere did not pay them GH¢20,000.
The other two have been identified as businessman Candylove Kwakyewaa Ababio and filmmaker Edem Saviour Ketti. The police claim that Henry Amponsah, also known as Henry Fitz, is still at large.
Counts
The accused persons have been charged with four counts of conspiracy to share intimate image, non-consensual sharing of intimate image, and sexual extortion.
