The Russian man

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has issued a stern warning to persons sharing intimate videos of a Russian man with Ghanaian women.

According to the CSA, persons caught sharing the videos could face up to 3 years in prison.

In a post shared by Ghana Chronicles on X, read, “The Cyber Security Authority has warned that anyone caught sharing intimate videos involving a Russian national and several Ghanaian women faces 1 to 3 years in prison under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).

Authorities say circulating such content is a criminal offence and offenders will be prosecuted”.

Some netizens reacting to the news stated, “You people don’t seem to understand how detrimental this is to the women who fell victim. I’m not really sure most of the people here have the videos of those intimate moments, besides, he took down the Telegram premium”.

“Waise paa de3, nipa na ɔtcn innocent ladies vids de3 he’s walking around”, a netizen added.

“They should arrest the man first”, a netizen added.

One X user added, “The Russian guy must be arrested for promoting pornography on social media under section 101A of Act 29”.

“What happens to the man who illegally filmed the whole activity, or you guys can’t touch him because he’s a Russian?”, a netizen quizzed.

One more X user added, “This isn’t about defending anyone’s actions, it’s about privacy, consent, and digital responsibility. Once someone shares private content without permission, it moves from gossip into potential criminal territory”.

“Kwasia foɔ. You allowed just anyone into the country without any cyber checks. He does all this nonsense and disappear and you are here talking trash”, a netizen vented his anger.

Meanwhile, Ghana’s social media, particularly X, has been thrown into chaos after a Yaytseslav released multiple videos of himself wooing Ghanaian women into his bed.

The information gathered also suggests the Russian man didn’t start his dealings in Ghana, but started from other African countries.

According to reports, Yaytseslav, the Russian man, mostly target women from the  Accra Mall were he engages with shoppers while recording their interaction, exchanging contacts, and the next thing you know, the women are visiting him in his hotel room.

Reports suggest the Russian man’s moments, from his first contact to private settings, are reportedly documented and turned into content for his audience on multiple social media platforms.

Yaytseslav is said to run active social media pages on TikTok and YouTube, where he posts summary-style videos of these encounters.

Social media users claim there are over 40 videos involving Ghanaian women across these public platforms.

Also, beyond the public posts, Yaytseslav operate a private subscription channel on Telegram, with one having to pay around 400 Russian Rubles, roughly $5 per month.

The situation has garnered reactions, with many questioning issues of privacy, consent, and the apparent monetisation of these encounters. Several users have called on the Ghana Police Service to step in.
