Akuapem Poloo’s sentencing deferred for pregnancy test
Ghanaian actress, Rosemond Alade Brown aka Akwapem Poloo who is facing an Accra Circuit court over the publication of a nude picture with her seven-year-old son in June last year has been convicted on her own plea by an Accra circuit court.
This comes after the actress changed her plea from not guilty to guilty to the three charges levelled against her.
The court will now sentence her on her own plea but as a requirement by law, it has to be sure of her state as a woman hence an order for a pregnancy test to be conducted to ensure that she is not pregnant.
Akuapem Poloo was therefore remanded into police custody to appear on Friday, April 16 this year with results of the pregnancy for the sentence to be passed.
Charges
The actress who is facing an Accra Circuit court over the publication of a nude picture with her seven-year-old son in June last year initially pleaded not guilty to charges of publication of obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence namely 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, when she first appeared before the court on November 19 last year but she changed her plea.
The trial was expected to commence today but when the case was called this morning, counsel for Akuapem Poloo, Mr Andy Vortia informed the court that his client wanted to change her plea.
The charges and the facts were read to her in Twi.
The actress appeared before the court in a black dress and black nose mask with her hands folded amid sobs as she pleaded guilty to all three charges.
