Actress Rosemond Brown popularly known as Akuapem Poloo has been convicted by an Accra Circuit Court presided over by Mrs. Christiana Cann.
This happened after she pleaded guilty in court today for posting obscene photos of herself and her seven-year-old son on social media a few months ago.
She has, therefore, been remanded into custody to undergo a pregnancy test before her sentencing.
In November last year when she was arraigned before court, she pleaded not guilty, but today at the court, she changed her plea from not guilty to guilty.
She pleaded guilty to all three charges and was convicted on her own plea by the court presided over by Christina Cann.
The court has deferred her sentencing to Friday, April 16, 2021. This is to enable her to undergo a pregnancy test in compliance with the law regarding a woman who has pleaded guilty in court.
Background
On June 30 last year, the prosecution said Rosemond celebrated her son’s seventh birthday and took her nude pictures together with her son, who was also half-naked and posted same on her Instagram page, which went viral on social media.
The pictures attracted comments, adding that the behaviour of the accused person undermined the dignity of her seven-year-old son among others.
The prosecution said the complainant petitioned the Director-General CID and the matter was referred to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU).
Rosemond, the prosecution said, was arrested and in her caution statement, admitted posting the nude picture with her son unintentionally.
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 held that Rosemond deliberately posted the pictures.
