The man, identified online as Yaytseslav, reportedly posted dozens of clips on TikTok, YouTube, and a paid channel on Telegram, prompting public calls for stricter enforcement of privacy and anti-exploitation laws.

Reports suggest Yaytseslav frequently approached women around Accra Mall, striking up conversations and later persuading some to share contact details or visit him.

Portions of these interactions were allegedly uploaded online, with teaser clips shared publicly and longer videos locked behind a paid Telegram subscription reportedly costing about $5 per month.

Investigations by PM News indicate roughly 40 videos linked to encounters with Ghanaian women, with some footage allegedly featuring women from other African countries.

One widely circulated clip reportedly showed a woman visiting his residence and later appearing wrapped in a towel, though it is unclear whether those recorded fully understood that the footage would be distributed online.
