A twenty- three year old Ugandan woman has been remanded in prison for sharing videos of her online masturbating.

Lilian Rukundo, a student of Uganda Christian University pleaded guilty to broadcasting pornographic material after she posted a video of herself masturbating after which she was remanded in prison custody until Friday in order to give the court an opportunity to “watch” the video before delivering judgement on the case.

 

The young woman was arraigned in Buganda Road Court in Kampala and charged with 10 counts before being convicted on her own guilty plea.

According to the prosecution, Miss Rukundo produced a sexual video that showed her masturbating on camera and sharing the video on social media herself with the sole purpose of  “sexually arousing whoever watched it”.

She thereafter pleaded guilty to 10 counts of broadcasting pornographic material as well as  publishing pictures of her Unclad body from the breast to the knees.

The chief magistrate, Ms Mary Babirye remanded her to Luzira Prison until July 13, 2018 when she will return to court for sentencing. Miss Rukundo’s arrest came about as a result of a tip off by a whistle blower to the Pornographic Control Committee.

 

 

If you were wondering, now you know why the Ugandan President decided to tax social media usage in the country.
