Red Pepper Newspaper has published nude photos of senator Ayena Odongo in Ugandan. The sex tape was anonymously leaked and the newspaper screengrabbed shoots making it their headline news with a huge photo from the scene plastered on their front page.
The sex tape is the most trendy on social media as we speak. The old member of Parliament shows off his extremely immodest sexual skills while appearing completely nude in various sex scenes with an unidentified woman.
Ayena has sued the newspaper publication for allegedly defaming him when they published nude photos of him while in intimacy relationship with a woman. According to court records, the Red Pepper published photos depicting MP Ayena having sexual relations in what is clearly a private setting, where peeping Toms, snoops and voyeurs can't be.
And Ayena's wife who should be ashamed, Hilda Marris is a joint complainant in the case that was filed before the High court yesterday, stating that regardless of what her husband did, the tabloid newspaper had no right to publish his nude photos given the private nature of the actions depicted therein and that they were not worthy at all to be published.
In her affidavit, Hilda states that the publication never obtained his consent before running them.
"The respondent (Red Pepper) had no other intention but to unjustly enrich itself by serving prurient interest while embarrassing my husband and causing distress, humiliation, anguish and pain to the family. The impugned publications have exposed my husband, our children and me to all manner of indignity stigma and ridicule from sections of society who can identify us in connection with the publications", Hilda's affidavit in support of her husband's suit, reads.
The Ayenas, through centre for Legal Aid, want court to order the tabloids to stop publishing more of such nude and private pictures and that they should be compensated with shilling five million in punitive damages.
They also want court to order the Red Pepper and its sister publications to run an apology in the same 'frequency and prominence that they gave the nude photos.
Court had by press time not summoned the editors of Red Pepper and its sister tabloids to file in their defense before the case can be fixed for hearing.
