Russian 'pick-up artist' accused of secretly filming women in Ghana

Ghana intends to request the extradition of a Russian man accused of illegally recording his sexual encounters with several women and sharing footage online without their consent.

African and Russian media identified him as a self-styled "pick-up artist" and online blogger in his 30s who had travelled to Ghana to secretly film his interactions with women.

Outlets in both countries claimed the man used a pair of sunglasses fitted with a camera to film some encounters and circulated them on social media, though officials did not confirm this.

Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Sam George, Ghana's technology minister, said he had invited the Russian ambassador to discuss the alleged incident.

Earlier, Ghana's Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection said an initial investigation had established the suspect had likely left the country.

It added that did "not reduce the seriousness of the alleged conduct or the state's responsibility to pursue accountability".

George said he had asked the Russian ambassador in the capital city Accra for Moscow's cooperation in getting justice for the victims.

However, Russia does not extradite its citizens, except in extreme circumstances.

The minister told BBC News: "I have invited the Russian ambassador in Ghana for a meeting.

"The actions of the Russian citizen flout our cyber-security laws. I will officially indicate to the ambassador our official position."

Earlier, he told reporters: "That gentleman will be looked for, we will activate every resource in our disposal working with Interpol.

"We will request the Russian authorities – and that is why I have invited the Russian ambassador – to work with our law enforcement.

"We want the gentleman to be brought back to Ghana, extradited to Ghana for him to face the rigours of our law."

George said they would try the suspect in absentia if he failed to return to Ghana.

Local media report the same man had been involved in similar illegal acts in Kenya.

Under Ghana's Cybersecurity Act 2020, anyone who publishes explicit images of children or adults without full consent can face up to 25 years in prison.

Authorities in Ghana have been paying increasing attention to online abuse, including sexual extortion and romance scams.

There has been an increase in arrests in recent years for these offences.

In 2022, a court sentenced a 22-year-old phone repairer, Solomon Doga, to 14 years in prison for sharing nude images of a Lebanese woman.

He pleaded guilty to sexual extortion and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

Ghana also introduced new laws under the Cybersecurity Act 2020 to punish those who share nude photos or videos online, especially of women and children, often for revenge or blackmail.

Not really bro, it is because most men in Africa are black, so anything foreign will always entice African women. It is the same when a black man go a majority white country and know how to speak the language.

Anybody can do this regardless of race. This sounds amusing to some guys because some of you have an unwarranted high expectations about women.

It’s a numbers game, the more women you ask for sex, the more women you would sleep with. This guy won’t show you the ones that rejected his advances.

You have a valid point there. He probably tried hundreds and these one (about 50) gave in.


To me mathematically it's possible, but the mental stress and all would make it difficult.

Had it been it's just regular street girls he met I wouldn't be this surprised. But married women too.

Yes, married women can be gotten, but the speed is just too unbelievable for this one. Within 1 day? Like he just met them and some instantly followed him?

Honestly I don't think it would be that easy for a regular guy except he meets street girls.

Goodmarlian:

If 1 in 20 girls agree to this arrangement and you talk to 1000 girls, you would have gotten 50 girls. This is how the mind of a player works. Some girls want what you want, you are just not asking and closed mouths don’t get fed.

Apart from number game

Most women are petty and feels exited once they see something different. They submitted easily beause he is white man and handsome.

They can't agree easily if he is a black guy even with money.

lovediehatelive:
This here is what I'm thinking too...

How can a lady just follow you instantly without shakara? Like now now now!!

And even married women o.


The white factor really played out here.

We are talking of random women he met physically not the ones @ Dating App.

A couple of years ago, there was the trending kiss or grab content. You know how many women submitted themselves to be grabbed by a stranger in public?

Are you saying no Nigerian man has ever slept with a Nigerian woman the first time they meet? When I was serving in naija, I was on my way home from work, I met a fellow corps member in a keke, we started talking and she told me there was nothing for her to do when she gets home so I invited her to my house. We had a less than 10minutes conversation before she agreed to follow me home.

There are numerous other examples I won’t share, the truth is if you think this isn’t a usual occurrence it’s because you don’t go out enough. Not every woman sees knacks as a big deal.
