Akuapem Poloo

An Accra Circuit Court presided by Her Lordship Christina Cann has handed 90 days imprisonment sentence to actress Rosemond Brown over naked pictures published on social media with her son.

The sentence comes after she posted a naked picture with her son on Instagram celebrating his seventh birthday.

On Wednesday, the actress who was remanded into custody underwent a pregnancy test before her sentencing.
She was handed her sentence Friday, April 16, 2021, by an Accra circuit court.

Rosemond Brown’s lawyers plan to appeal the sentence.

The judge, Christina Cann, bemoaned the spate of nudity on Ghanaian social media space.

According to her, the punishment meted out to Rosemond Brown must serve as a deterrent to others.

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

The child’s right activist 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).

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