Media personality Serwaa Amihere has issued a public apology for the intimate video that circulated widely a few weeks ago.
The explicit footage, featuring Serwaa Amihere and an individual identified as Henry Fritz, was leaked on Tuesday, April 2, causing a stir on social media.
Following the incident, three individuals, including Henry Fritz, who is presently evading authorities, were charged on April 8 for their alleged involvement in disseminating the private video online.
According to the details outlined in the charge sheet presented in court, Serwaa Amihere paid a ransom to prevent the nude video from being made public.
However, despite receiving the demanded ransom of GH¢20,000, the three accused individuals proceeded to share the video on social media.
The trio is confronted with charges of conspiracy to commit a crime, particularly the unauthorized dissemination of intimate images, in violation of Section 23(1) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29), along with Section 67(1)(2) of the Cybersecurity Act 2020 (Act 1038).
Serwaa Amihere, in the statement posted on her social media handles, disclosed that she had been extorted five months before the leakage and had collaborated with the police in her attempt to have the extortionists apprehended.
In her apology, Serwaa Amihere acknowledged the leakage of the video, revealing that it was recorded five years ago and expressed her profound regret, embarrassment, and disappointment over the incident.
