Despite collecting the money, he allegedly splashed the videos and pictures of the victims on social media.

Mr Daniel Kupala represented Anim as counsel.
The case of the prosecution is that, in January last year, the Cybercrime Unit of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) through intelligence gathered that the website was operating in the internet space by publishing nude videos and pictures of Ghanaian children and adults without their knowledge.
Prosecution said further inquiry revealed that Anim, the owner of the website collected monies from victims via mobile money before pulling down videos and pictures of victims from the website.
But even after paying the money, the videos and pictures however were seen on social media platforms.
