A woman has successfully caused the arrest of a young man who shared a false viral video accusing her of prostitution on social media.
The video, which quickly went viral, showed the woman in a heated exchange with another individual. According to her, the altercation had nothing to do with sex work; it stemmed from a road incident where someone had scratched her car. However, the suspect twisted the story, falsely captioning the video to suggest she was a prostitute demanding GHS5,000 from a supposed client.
Outraged by the false narrative and the damage to her reputation, the woman reported the matter to the police, leading to the arrest of the young man. He is now facing possible charges related to defamation, cyberbullying, and spreading false information.
The incident has sparked conversations online about the dangers of misusing social media and the real-world consequences of publishing misleading content. The authorities have cautioned the public to be mindful of the content they share and to verify facts before posting online.
The false viral video accusing a woman of prostitution is now part of an ongoing investigation, with the victim seeking justice and a formal apology.
