I Still Hate My Unclothed Picture—Akuapem Poloo

Akuapem Poloo squatted naked in front of her son in the contentious picture, which was shared in July 2020 to commemorate her son’s seventh birthday. The image provoked a lot of indignation from the general public.

As a punitive step to discourage similar crimes, the Accra High Court sentenced her to three months in prison in April 2021.

Akuapem Poloo entered a plea of guilty to three counts: publishing pornographic materials; using domestic violence to violate the privacy and integrity of another person; and using domestic violence to violate the dignity of another person.
