Russian man’s secret videos with Ghanaian women leak in online scandal

Public anger is building in Ghana after a man claiming to be from Russia allegedly recorded private encounters with Ghanaian women and shared the videos across social media and subscription platforms.

The man, identified online as Yaytseslav, is said to have posted dozens of clips across TikTok, YouTube and a paid channel on Telegram, triggering heated debates about privacy, consent and digital exploitation.

Reports indicate he was frequently seen around Accra Mall, where he allegedly approached women, struck up conversations and later persuaded some to exchange phone numbers or visit him. Parts of those interactions were later uploaded online.

According to reports first amplified by local media sources, the content was reportedly split into two parts, teaser summaries shared publicly and longer, more private footage locked behind a paid Telegram subscription reportedly costing about $5 monthly.

Online checks by PM News show roughly 40 videos allegedly linked to encounters with Ghanaian women, with some clips also featuring women from other African countries.

One widely shared clip reportedly showed a woman visiting his residence and later appearing wrapped in a towel, though it remains unclear whether those recorded were fully aware the footage would be distributed online.

The videos have sparked outrage across Ghanaian social media, with many users raising concerns about possible non-consensual recording and exploitation risks. Others questioned how such content could be filmed and monetised without immediate legal consequences.
