The Russian man, Yaytseslav, went viral on Ghanaian social media after sharing videos of his escapades with the women.
In the videos, the content creator would walk up to a random woman in the streets of Ghana's capital, usually around the Accra Mall area near Shiashie, and strike up a conversation with them.
Yaytseslav eventually turns the conversation into a proposition and invites the lady to his hotel room.
The Russian recorded all these interactions, likely using Meta glasses, without his partners realising they were being filmed. He then shared the videos with his large audience on TikTok, Telegram, YouTube, and other platforms to monetise them.
Experts have suggested his conduct likely breaches multiple Ghanaian laws, including section 67 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
The videos have sparked outrage in Ghana and intensified interest in discovering the real identity of the man behind the camera.
