After sharing explicit images of a Lebanese woman on social media against her will, a phone repairer in Ghana was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
After pleading guilty to charges of sexual extortion and non-consensual sharing of intimate photos, Solomon Doga, 22, was punished by a court in Accra's Adenta neighborhood.
The young man was hired to unlock the phone of a Lebanese woman in Accra, according to State Prosecutor Chief Inspector Maxwell Lanyo.
Doga unlawfully accessed and retrieved her personal photos in the process.
Later, the young man tried to blackmail her by threatening to make her nude images public unless she gave him an undisclosed sum of money, but she refused and blocked him.
Doga was arrested and imprisoned after he posted naked images of her on social media.

This sentencing marks the start of a new era for the West African country, which is enforcing its laws to combat the recent rise in revenge pornography and blackmail.
