Appealing 3 Months Jail Term an Option-Akuapem Poloo’s Lawyer

Rosemond Brown’s lawyer has said though his client has been sentence to 90 days jail for posting a nude photo of herself and her seven-year-old son on social media, appealing is an option.

Speaking to the media after the sentencing on Friday, April 16, 2021, her lead counsel, Andrew Vortia said appealing the ruling “is an option for us…For me, I want to go for an appeal.”

He said he was waiting for the full judgment of the case before proceeding with the next line of action.

“I have written for the judgment. If I have it by the close of the day, by 9 am on Monday April 19, I will file an appeal,” he said

Akuapem Poloo was on Wednesday convicted on her own plea by the Circuit Court in Accra after pleading guilty to three charges.

She was charged with the publication of nude pictures with her seven-year-old son. She changed her not guilty plea to guilty before being convicted.

The court presided over by Her Honour Christina court deferred her sentencing today, April 16, 2021,  to undergo a pregnancy test to ensure she was not pregnant before her sentencing is passed.

Before her sentencing, the presiding judge confirmed that Poloo  was not pregnant after her test came out negative.
