The Court of Appeal has on Wednesday December 15 set aside the prison sentence of actress and socialite Rosemond Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo.

She has been fined 1000 , 500, and 500 penalty units on the three counts.

These are expected to run concurrently.

The Court had earlier thrown out an appeal filed by her lawyers.

She was handed a 90-day jail term by an Accra Circuit Court for publishing obscene material and violating the dignity and integrity of her seven-year-old son in a nude photo she posted on social media in June, 2020.

Though she served a period into her term, her lawyers appealed the judgement considering it too harsh.

She was subsequently granted an GH¢80,000 bail, pending the determination of the appeal.

On Wednesday, December 1, the Court found her appeal without merit and was subsequently ordered to go and continue her 90-day imprisonment.
