Ghanaian Actress Who Posted Nude Photo Gets $13,900 Bail

A Ghanaian court has granted bail of 80,000 cedis ($13,900) to actress Rosemond Brown, pending an appeal against her 90-day jail sentence for posting a naked photo of herself on social media beside her son.

The court ordered Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, to report to police twice a week, and to hand over her passport. She can travel only with the court’s permission.

Brown was granted bail because she was a young first-time offender who had shown remorse and had pleaded guilty, the judge said, while also considering the welfare of her son when deciding to release her on bail.

Last week, the actress broke down in tears after she was jailed. She was found guilty of publishing obscene materials, engaging in domestic violence and undermining the privacy and integrity of another person – and was taken into custody.

In the photo, posted last July to celebrate her son’s seventh birthday, she is crouching, facing the boy and holding his hands. He is wearing underpants. Her breasts are hidden by her long hair.

The image went viral and there was a huge backlash online.

The actress, who often posts photos of herself with her son on social media, apologised but was invited for questioning by the police.

Judge Christiana Cann said the jail sentence would serve as a deterrent to the general public given increasing levels of moral decadence in the country.
