Judith Heard arrested over leaked nudes
City
socialite Judith Heard was on Tuesday afternoon arrested by Kampala Central
Police over her leaked nudes and indecent video that were leaked on social
media back in May. Police arrested Heard yesterday as she roamed Kampala streets.
She had failed to respond to various police summons since last month when
investigations on her leaked nudes
started until yesterday when she got
arrested and kept at Kampala Central Police (CPS).
“We
had summoned her twice but she had adamantly refused to honour the summons. We
decided to trace for her and we got her today. She has recorded a statement and
we have her in our cells,” said a police officer
(identity withheld).
Police said that Heard has
become their third suspect to be arrested over leaked nudes since a General
Enquiries File (GEF 28/2018) was opened in June on orders of the
anti-pornography desk at the Ethics ministry.
Police revealed that Heard
pleaded to be forgiven claiming that it was her boyfriend that took the
pictures and that the nud3s are part of her work as a model but not for social
media publication. She reportedly said she has pending modelling trips to
Europe and thus needed to be set free. However, police was not convinced about
this by press time.
Four other people, Lillian
Rukundo a Uganda Christian University (UCU) student and blogger Ashburg Kato
were earlier arrested and remanded while Jack Pemba and Don Zella were issued
arrest warrants over the same allegations.
