Chancellor and psychologist, Rev. Eric Bentil, has issued a stark warning to the public against recording sexual activities, emphasizing the potential for serious and lasting ramifications for individuals’ personal and professional lives. Speaking to Adom News, Rev. Bentil cautioned against the circulation of intimate videos, highlighting the risks associated with the rapid dissemination of such content. His concerns stem from a recent surge in the proliferation of videos allegedly involving public figures and private individuals, which he describes as worrying and escalating.
“People must be incredibly careful about recording their sexual activities because once such content gets out, the consequences can follow them for many years,” Rev. Bentil warned, stressing the potential for permanent damage. His comments come amidst the widespread circulation of videos on social media, many of which appear to be recently in the public domain, purportedly involving influencers and private individuals. However, the identities and circumstances surrounding these videos remain largely unverified, with independent verification being difficult to achieve. He noted that individuals can download, share, and repost these videos rapidly, intensifying the potential for further dissemination.
Rev. Bentil further elaborated that the impact of such leaks extends beyond mere embarrassment, potentially affecting an individual’s reputation, relationships, employment prospects, and future ambitions. He warned that individuals who aspire to prominent positions in society, including public office, could face increased scrutiny if intimate content involving them becomes widely circulated. ‘Something you do privately today can have public consequences many years later,’ he advised, highlighting the difficulty of controlling the spread of information once it’s disseminated online.
He urged individuals who may have been involved in leaked or circulated videos to seek professional counselling and psychological support. “If someone finds themselves in such a situation, they should not suffer in silence. Professional counselling can help them deal with the emotional and psychological effects,” he said. Meanwhile, members of the public have expressed a range of reactions to the recent circulation of alleged intimate videos. Some have described the development as disturbing and reflective of troubling times, while others suggest potential deliberate attempts to attract public attention. However, there is currently no independent confirmation that the alleged videos were deliberately leaked for publicity. The GoldBod initiative, focused on reclaiming 50 hectares of degraded land in Tano Numri Forest, is also being discussed, with the company CEO, GoldBod, aiming to establish a Gold Village in Accra in 2027. This project is a significant undertaking within the region, representing a substantial investment and a commitment to economic development.”
Further analysis suggests a potential for significant societal impact, prompting a cautious approach to online privacy and the responsible sharing of personal information, as the rapid spread of potentially damaging content poses a considerable risk.”
