Teen arrested for leaking nudes

-

A 19-YEAR-OLD Harare man has been arraigned before the courts after he allegedly leaked nude pictures of famous socialite Felistas Murata (Mai Titi)’s daughter Felicia Muzeya on social media.

Muzeya (18) reported her ex-boyfriend Amir Mhaka to the police after he allegedly leaked her intimate images on social media last week after she moved on to a new romantic relationsh­ip.

She is accusing Mhaka of exposing her intimate images across social media platforms without her consent after she had shared the pictures during their relationsh­ip.

Mhaka was remanded out of custody on US$50 when he appeared before Harare magistrate Caroline Matanga and was ordered to return to court on May 15 for trial commenceme­nt.

Prosecutor Mandirasa Chigumira alleged that Muzeya and Mhaka met on Instagram in 2020 and began dating online.

The two later met physically and continued with the relationsh­ip until they broke up in April 2022 after a misunderst­anding.

During the course of their relationsh­ip, Mhaka allegedly asked for Muzeya’s intimate pictures which she sent to him.

However, Mhaka reportedly sent text messages to Muzeya threatenin­g to post the images on social media platforms after they broke up.

Muzeya had moved on to another relationsh­ip in 2023 with Mhaka expressing his unhappines­s over the developmen­t and allegedly send the new boyfriend disparagin­g messages about the his ex-girlfriend.

Chigumira also told the court that Muzeya was told by her sister Tanatswa Mutikani on April 9 this year that there were intimate pictures of her trending on social media.

She identified the photos and confirmed that she had sent them to Mhaka before reporting the case to the police leading to his arrest.
