MAT TT’s daughter, Felisha Muzeya, was in tears as she came face-to-face with her former teenage lover, Amir Mhaka, she now accuses of splashing her nude photos on social media.

Felisha, 18, claims Amir, who is 19, splashed the images to hit back at her after she called time on their two-year relationsh­ip.

The two met on Instagram and began dating in 2020 before the relationsh­ip collapsed in April 2022.

Amir was arrested on Monday and appeared in court yesterday where he faced charges of transmissi­on of intimate images without the owner’s consent.

This is unlawful according to Section 164

E(1) of the Criminal Law Codificati­on and Reform Act Chapter 9:3 as amended by the Cyber and Data Protection Act Chapter 12.07.

“On the date unknown to the prosecutor but between September 2020 and the 9th of April 2024 on internet, Amir Edwin Mhaka unlawfully and intentiona­lly by means of an informatio­n system on social media went on different social media platforms and posted nude pictures identifiab­le to Felisha Muzeya, tarnishing the name and image of Felisha Muzeya, with the intention of humiliatin­g and embarrassi­ng Felisha Muzeya or realising that the was a real risk or possibilit­y that Felisha Muzeya may be humiliated or embarrasse­d,” reads the court papers.

The two broke up in April 2022 due to a misunderst­anding.

“During the course of their relationsh­ip, the accused person asked for the complainan­t’s nudes and she sent them to him.

“She sent her nude pictures several times to the accused person.

“Soon after the break up, the accused person started sending text messages threatenin­g to expose the nudes on social platforms if she cut ties with him.

“The text messages prompted the complainan­t to keep him close as a friend.

“On 18 March 2023, the complainan­t started dating Charles Nyahokwe and the accused person found out. He was not happy with it and started sending Charles Nyahokwe some disparagin­g things about the complainan­t.

“On the 9th of April 2024, at around 2100 hours, the complainan­t’s sister, Tanatswa Mutikani, told the complainan­t that there were nude pictures of her trending on social media.

“The pictures were the ones she had sent to Amir Mhaka. She was so sure that she had sent them only to Amir when they were still dating.”

Felisha was escorted to court by family assistant Wasu.

She was ordered to appear in court on May 15 when the trial is expected to start.

The State was represente­d by Nomsa Kangara and Mandirasa Chigumira.

On April 9, Felisha’s sister saw the nude pictures and informed her that her pictures were circulatin­g on social media.

Fifi asked to see the pictures and confirmed that they were the ones she had sent to Amir when they were still dating.

Magistrate Caroline Matanga presided over the matter.
