Its so sad when very private information comes out and later puts you in big trouble.This is what happened to Ugandan Top Model,Judith Heard.
When nude photos of leading Ugandan model Judith Heard were published without her consent last year, she not only found herself under arrest, but also under attack in the media and online.
She claims the photos came from a stolen phone or computer and insists she never sent them to anyone.
Heard was one of three women who had their nude pictures or sex tapes shared online without their consent.
Police officer Esther Akol had a nude photo of her in uniform circulating online but she said her ex-boyfriend had maliciously edited the photo to appear as her.
The police are still searching for Heard’s stolen devices because without them she has a ‘very weak defence’, according to a police spokesperson.
During a press conference, the Pornography Control Committee chair, Annette Kezaabu, referenced Akol’s case saying that ‘woman can be both a victim and perpetrator at the same time’.
She is now urging Ugandan women to talk openly about sexual abuse – and to show solidarity with one another.
