The issue of leaked sex tapes and nude pictures

Ghanaians like making victims criminals and vice versa. I said this when the Tamale sex leaks occurred. Note that unless a man records and willingly shares consensus sex act with his wife or a matured woman he is in love with, it is not criminal for him to have such videos. As long as the lady and the man agreed to do it for their private use, that is to them and their God. If it is immoral, it is a sin committed in private, and that is to them and Allah.

I will not record sex with my wife for any reason, but most of us, largely those who are first to attack people whose sex videos and or nude images find their way to the public have so many such videos in our gadgets. Our luck is that a stupid person has not yet laid hands on our phones.

If someone’s sex videos or nude images shared with the lover are stolen and made public, the person is a victim and never a criminal. It is not your business or mine if a man has the nude pictures of his wife or lover on his phone. That is what they decided to do as lovers and should remain their own.

If you are the one taking the headmaster to trash, just go through your images, and tell me what you have there. We need to begin to help victims identify the origins of such videos and leaks, so society will maintain sanity. But for those people leaking the videos, we would have had no knowledge of their existence. So now that the videos are all over the internet, the thief who leaked them will answer to any click on them in front of Allah. Unless someone willingly shares those videos that he or she recorded, we must sympathize with those people than vilify them.

Perhaps, only time and yours will also make it to the public. As long as the headmaster did not share the videos willingly, had the consent of the lady and the lady is of age, he, the headmaster is a victim and must be treated as one.
