The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service announced on May 12, 2026, the arrest of a 36-year-old businessman in connection with the alleged non-consensual sharing of intimate images and online sexual exploitation. The suspect, identified as a socialite and entrepreneur based in East Legon, Accra, was taken into custody following an investigation into complaints of online abuse.
According to police sources, the arrest followed a series of reports from victims who claimed their intimate images were shared without consent on social media platforms. The CID stated that the suspect is also being investigated for potential involvement in drugging and sexual abuse, though specific details of these allegations have not been publicly released.
The Ghana Police Service has urged other potential victims to come forward and assured the public that the investigation is ongoing. The suspect is expected to appear before a court in Accra later this week to face charges related to cybercrime and sexual exploitation.
