The last two years have seen increasing leak of seks videos and private photos in Ghana, mostly of women by the ex-partners of these women without the men being legally punished or held accountable.
In fact, it is legally complicated to want to sue or find a seks video/photo leaker liable—especially when the videos or photos were taken under consent. Easily, the person suspected of leaking the material could say, ‘I lost my phone’ and that led to the leak.
But the law is developing fast around the world in relation to this form of new crime against women.
And for the first time in the UK, a 21-year-old man has been jailed for ‘revenge p*rn’ after he posted a naked picture of his ex-girlfriend on WhatsApp.
