BigEye.ug has further gone deep in efforts to see how nude photos leak. In a previous segment we published a story about a saga that involved Monica Alinda and Paul Matovu.
Well, our underground reporters have found out that Photo Studios are the number one source of nude photo leakages. What actually happens is that girls are in a trend of taking nude photos, so when they go out to print them out from their memory cards, the photo studios maintain a copy. Sometimes it’s for simple optical nutrition, other times, for financial purposes.
The photo studios will upload these nude photos to porn sites and will earn money in exchange for the nudes. Other times, they will use the nude photos to blackmail the client, though they don’t do it directly. They get an anonymous person to call the client and promise to release the nude photos.
There is also another case where phones are stolen and the thieves get the memory cards and get the content on the memory card in which case, there are always some nude photos which are then leaked out.
Finally, there is also a scenario where girls go to photo studios to take nude photos and the camera men maintain a copy of these photos. Below is a story of how some girl found herself in one of the scenarios (BigEye.ug can’t verify the accuracy of her side of the story). Alinda Monica narrates. The original story was written in Luganda, BigEye.ug has translated it.
“I have decided to open up concerning my misunderstanding with Paul Matovu. It all started like this;
Matovu sent me a Facebook inbox seeking my advice concerning the problems he had with his girlfriend, a one phina_oweanbacy. He asked me to give him my Whatsapp number which I did and he narrated to me the whole story of his predicament. Being a good friend, I took special care to offer my heartfelt advice on how to deal with the issues. However, I didn’t ask him to dump the girlfriend. I asked him to give the relationship a break and considerable time for healing to occur.
After some days, he began vibing me, and I warned him saying that he should stop treading on those grounds if he valued our friendship.
One day, he happened to come by Nasser Road, he asked for my place of work and I directed him to Nakasero. He asked to meet me for some time, I humbly accepted his request. Indeed we met, talked for some quality time and he told me that he was working at Sherry Photo Lab.
Since I had some photos that needed printing, I struck a deal with him to bring my memory card in order to print out my photos. He also offered to give me some of the latest music.
After two days, I went to his workplace. I handed him my memory card to copy the photos. I was surprised to see that he had copied all the content on the memory card yet I had directed him to a specific folder. Because of anger, I took away the card and walked away.
I began keeping a distance and tried to avoid him in the aftermath of that saga. This was enhanced by the fact that he had insisted on vibing me. I kept on telling him that I was busy of late.
Before that, he had asked whether I would attend some party at Kabulaada bar in Gaaba. Since he’s a resident of Gaaba, he had insisted that I visit him when I come for the party. I feigned an excuse of time constraints and that I couldn’t make it because I had to visit my sister in Kibuli.
While at the party, he bought me a bottle of soda. Little did I know that actually he was not on good terms with me, this I confirmed when a friend called me after the party saying that Paul Matovu was not happy with me.
To cut the long story short, he promised to expose my nude photos and to fake a story that I am a prostitute who had conned him of his money. That’s how unfair the world is. Paul Matovu should come out and confirm if this is not the truth.”
Well friends, that’s the long story. By the time we came to print, Paul Matovu had been arrested by Police on charges of computer misuse.
