The actress and socialite Rosemond Brown, better known as Akuapem Poloo, had her prison sentence overturned by the Criminal Court 1 Division of the High Court on Wednesday, December 15.
On all three offenses, she was penalized 1000, 500, and 500 penalty units.
These are expected to run at the same time.
An appeal filed by her counsel had previously been dismissed by the Court.
In a nude photo she shared on social media in June 2020, she was sentenced to 90 days in prison by an Accra Circuit Court for publishing obscene content and disrespecting the dignity and integrity of her seven-year-old kid.
Her lawyers contested the decision, claiming it was overly punitive, despite the fact that she had completed a portion of her sentence.
In the meantime, she was given GH80,000 bail awaiting the outcome of the appeal.
On Wednesday, December 1, the Court dismissed her appeal and ordered her to serve the remainder of her 90-day sentence.
