A guy was charged with unauthorized distribution of obscene and intimate photos after he lured a Facebook friend to his residence where they made films of their “sexcapades” before selling them to interested others online.
In violation of section 37 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act of 2018, Daniel Orina is suspected of publishing and circulating explicit and intimate pictures of the woman on his Facebook account on August 29 and 30 in South B, Nairobi, together with people still at large.
The woman received a friend request from Mr. Orina after he saw her earlier this year on Facebook.
The two of them fell in love when he assaulted her inbox and seduced her.
In the final week of June, the complainant visited Mr. Orina at his home in South C estate, where they consumed the prohibited fruit. Mr. Orina then escorted her back to Nairobi CBD, where she boarded a matatu to return to her uncle’s home in Kangemi.
Three weeks later, the woman went back to see the suspect at his home, where they once more ate the forbidden fruit and consented to having images and films of their bedtime liaisons taken.
Mr. Orina transferred the images from the complainant’s phone, which they had used to capture the intercourse, and escorted her once more to the CBD, where she took a matatu to her uncle’s house, and he went back to his home.
Midway through August, the woman went back to Mr. Orina’s home with the goal of wiping the suspect’s mobile phone clean of the recordings and photos.
They were together for four days before the complainant returned to Kangemi from the suspect’s home and blocked him on social media.
After a week, she got a call from a friend asking her why she kept uploading explicit movies and photos on her timeline.
According to reports, Mr. Orina hacked the account, altered the name, and wrote that anyone who were interested in the films could remove their WhatsApp numbers in order to receive them for Sh20 only.
One of the complainant’s acquaintances, who is now identified as the case’s key witness, is said to have received the tape from the suspect.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) began an inquiry when the woman later reported the incident at the Pangani police station on September 2.
Suspect was located and taken into custody. Screenshots of the purportedly posted films and photos by Mr. Orina were found by the DCI, and they are now included as exhibits in the case.
In front of Senior Principal Magistrate Agnes Mwangi of the Makadara Law Courts, Mr. Orina refuted the accusations.
He was released on a Sh200,000 bond without the chance to post a cash bail. Prior to the hearing beginning on April 4 of the next year, the case will be discussed on November 17. The account was subsequently suspended, and it is now part of the case’s evidence list.
