An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced actress and socialite Rosemond Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, to a 90-day or three-month jail term for the publication of a nude picture with her son.  

She posted the picture with her son on Instagram in June last year on the occasion of his seventh birthday.

She appeared in court on Wednesday, 14 April 2021.

She pleaded guilty to all three charges levelled against her.

The ‘Sexy Poloo’ singer was slapped with three charges of “publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence, conduct that in any way undermines another person’s privacy or integrity and engaging in domestic violence namely conduct that in any way detracts or is likely to detract from another person’s dignity and worth as a human being”.

She was sentenced to 90 days on each count but the court said the sentence must run concurrently.

This implies that she will only serve a 90-day jail term.

The court, presided over by Christiana Cann, deferred the actress’ sentencing to today, April 16, 2021, to enable her to undergo a pregnancy test.

This is a requirement by law, to ensure she was not pregnant before her sentencing is passed.

Before her sentencing, the presiding judge confirmed that the actress was not pregnant after her test came out negative.
