MONTEGO BAY, St James — A woman accused of breaching the privacy of another by posting an intimate video of her on her WhatsApp status made her first appearance in St James Parish Court on Wednesday.

Brandy Whyte appeared before presiding judge Kaysha Grant-Pryce facing charges of malicious communication. She is being represented by attorney-at-law Adrian Dayes.

The incident reportedly took place sometime in November last year.

According to court documents, Whyte is accused of sharing a video on her WhatsApp status showing the complainant engaging in sexual activities.

A report was made to the police and Whyte was arrested and charged.

Under caution, Whyte told the police that the complainant initiated the exposure by sharing a video of her [Whyte] engaging in intimate activities, prompting her to reciprocate by sharing a similar video of the complainant on social media.

After the allegations were outlined, Dayes informed the court that the defence would not waste any time and promptly asked for partial disclosure, which entails the submission of documents pertaining to the case.

The judge then scheduled the matter for mention on February 21, with case-related documents to be served on the defence on or before January 28, in preparation for trial.

The taking of Whyte’s fingerprints was deferred until the next court date, and the investigating officer was bound over to complete the prosecution’s case file.
