Going to jail for art pic!?

Ghana family shock

A Ghanaian actress will go to prison for posing nude in an artistic photo with her son on his 7th birthday, reports say.

After losing an appeal on Wednesday, Rosemond Brown — known professionally as Akuapem Poloo — wrote on Instagram: “SON I LOVE YOU AND GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS YOU KNOW . . . BE GOOD TILL MUMMY COMES BACK . . . GOD IS IN CONTROL ALWAYS.”

Poloo, 32, had posted the photo (inset) — which showed herself nude and facing the boy — on social media in June 2020, prompting Ghanaian officials to charge her with domestic violence and the posting of obscene material.

“The court is bothered with posting nude photos on social media. There is no doubt that apart from the canker of rape, defilement, physical assault, the publication of obscene materials is on the increase,” Judge Christiana Cann ruled in April, according to the news agency Newsflash.

“A harsh sentence will serve as a deterrent.”

Poloo was sentenced to a three-month term, but she appealed. On Wednesday, Justice Ruby Aryeetey of the High Court upheld the sentence, ruling that it wasn’t excessive.

“This court will not interfere, and the appeal is therefore dismissed,” she said, according to BBC Pidgin.

Rapper Cardi B was among a number of celebs to back the single mom in April, writing that jail was “a bit harsh.”

“I seen a lot of Americans do photoshoots like that,” the singer wrote. “I don’t think she was going for sexual more going the natural idea.”

In a post on Wednesday, Poloo wrote, “THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT ESPECIALLY THE MEDIA AND MY CELEBRITIES.”

Poloo’s friend, fellow Ghanaian actress Tracey Boakye, will take care of Poloo’s son as she serves her sentence, according to GH Gossip.
