Akuapem Poloo’s lawyer files for appeal after jail sentence

The counsel for convicted social media personality, Akuapem Poloo, has filed an appeal against her sentence.

Akuapem Poloo was handed a 90-day jail term for publishing obscene material and violating the dignity and integrity of her 7-year old son in a nude social media post.

Speaking to the media after the sentencing on Friday, April 16, 2021, her lead counsel, Andrew Vortia said appealing the ruling “is an option for us…For me, I want to go for an appeal.”

He said he was waiting for the full judgment of the case before proceeding with the next line of action.

Meanwhile, some people are also signing a petition to free the showbiz personality from jail.

Rosemond Brown, widely known as Akuapem Poloo, was given the 90-day jail term following her conviction on charges of publication of obscene material and domestic violence.

She pleaded guilty to all three charges on Wednesday and was convicted on her own plea by the court.

Her lawyer had made a mitigation plea to ask for a more lenient punishment.

Mr. Vortia maintained that the custodial sentence handed out was harsh.

“The mitigating factors in her favour are greater than the aggravating factors. When you consider this offence, it is not rape. It is not murder. It is a misdemeanour in which she could have been dealt with lightly,” he said.

The lawyer also questioned the lack of concern for Rosemond Brown’s seven-year-old son.

“Social welfare should have been bought in. We are protecting the child. The mother is gone, so who takes care of the child? Absolutely nothing was done to that effect,” Mr. Andrew said.

The judge, Christina Cann, bemoaned the spate of nudity on the Ghanaian social media space when she handed the sentence on Friday.

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