PREMIUM Secret lover, leaked nudes and a Sh2.5m court payout News 23 min ago Listen

Article Possession of another person’s intimate images comes with a duty to protect them, and failure to prevent their unauthorised circulation can result in constitutional liability even where a victim cannot produce a direct digital trail showing who uploaded them, the High Court has ruled.

Ms DN’s case adds an evidentiary dimension to privacy jurisprudence as the court accepted electronic material without the usual certificate because surrounding evidence established its authenticity.

The court ordered Mr GH to pay Ms DN the amount after finding him responsible for her nude pictures that circulated online, on his social media platforms, including WhatsApp and Facebook, three years ago.
