A 24-year-old labourer has been sentenced to 60 days imprisonment by a
Circuit Court in Accra for posting his ex-girlfriends nude pictures on
Facebook, a social media platform.
David Dickson Donkoh is said to have embarked on the act after his ex-girlfriend terminated their year old relationship.
According to the complainant, (the girlfriend), Donkoh had slept with
her close friend hence the decision to quit the relationship.
In his bid to show his powers, Donkoh posted the complainant’s nude
pictures on Facebook after he had asked the complainant to rescind her
decision, but she refused.
Charged with causing emotional, verbal and psychological abuse to the
victim, Donkor pleaded guilty and the court presided over by Ms Sedina
Agbemeva convicted him on his own plea.
Handing down the sentence, the trial judge noted that the act was a
gross violation of the victims right to privacy and it further
undermined her dignity.
According to the court, the pictures uploaded by Donkoh could also be
broadcasted by others, noting that, these trends of revenge were
unfortunate.
Inspector Kofi Atimbire, who prosecuted, told the court that the
complainant was a student and resides at Chorkor, where Donkoh also
lives.
Inspector Atimbire said both Donkoh and the complainant were school mates and completed Senior High School in 2008.
According to the prosecutor, the complainant was a fiance to Donkoh
for a year but about 2 months ago, the complainant terminated the
relationship because Donkoh had sex with her close friend.
Prosecution said on January 22, this year, the complainant had a call
from her friends asking her to go to Facebook and WhatsApp to see what
was happening.
Inspector Atimbire said after visiting those media platforms, the
complainant saw her nude pictures. The complainant then called Donkoh
demanding answers for his actions.
Prosecution said Donkoh replied that he wanted to embarrass her so that no man would marry her in future.
Complainant reported the matter to the police and the accused was arrested.
Inspector Atimbire said in Donkoh’s caution statement, he admitted
having uploaded the naked pictures of the complainant only for a few
minutes but deleted them.
According to prosecution, Donkoh said the complainants friends who were on line at that time saw the picture and informed her.
The prosecutor said Donkoh indicated that he loved the complainant so
much that he did not know what to do after she decided to end the
relationship.
