A scandal involving a Russian national identified as Vyacheslav Trahov, better known online as Yaytseslav, has ignited widespread fury across Ghana and beyond, after videos surfaced showing his intimate encounters with dozens of Ghanaian women, allegedly recorded without their full consent and shared on social media platforms.
The controversy, which exploded online in early February 2026, has raised serious concerns about privacy violations, digital exploitation, and sex tourism, prompting calls for legal action and an official investigation by Ghanaian authorities.
The saga began when clips from Trahov’s TikTok, YouTube, and a paid Telegram channel started circulating widely, depicting him approaching women in public spaces such as the Accra Mall, engaging in flirtatious conversations, and subsequently inviting them to his apartment.
Reports indicate that he used hidden recording devices, possibly including Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, to capture these interactions, including private moments. Online checks revealed approximately 40 videos linked to encounters with Ghanaian women, though Trahov has since deleted much of the Ghana-specific content amid the backlash.
Trahav, who presents himself as a content creator, has defended his actions in a statement released around February 13, 2026, claiming the women were “interested” and describing the process as “very easy.” However, critics argue that the videos highlight issues of consent and exploitation, with many women appearing unaware that their encounters were being filmed for public consumption. In one notable case, a 29-year-old woman named Angela, whom Trahov allegedly met at the mall, canceled her ride to accompany him to his hotel, where the interaction was recorded. Another woman, Dora, featured in one of the videos, has publicly denied any intimate relations with Trahov, stating he only followed her to request her phone number.
The fallout has been intense, with Ghanaians expressing outrage on social media over what they perceive as predatory behavior. Discussions have centered on privacy rights, the ease with which foreign nationals can exploit local vulnerabilities, and broader implications for women’s safety. One netizen’s post highlighted two women who rejected Trahov’s advances, earning praise as a “positive example” amid the scandal. Tragically, reports emerged of one woman being hospitalized after discovering her video had surfaced online, sparking further concern and calls for support for the affected individuals.
This is not Trahov’s first controversy. Similar allegations have followed him in other African countries, including Kenya, South Africa, and Nigeria, where he reportedly engaged in comparable activities. In Kenya, videos of his encounters with local women drew public warnings from officials, while in South Africa, he faced accusations of similar exploitative content creation. Rumors of his high “success rate”—as high as 97% in some claims—have fueled debates about cultural dynamics and economic disparities that may contribute to such incidents.
Legally, Trahov could face severe consequences in Ghana. Under the country’s Cybersecurity Act, sharing private moments without consent is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The Gender Ministry has launched an investigation, with the minister urging the public to stop sharing the videos to avoid further victimization. Although Trahov is believed to have left Ghana, cross-border efforts are underway to address the matter. Unverified reports have circulated about his arrest in locations like the Philippines or Tokyo, but these remain unconfirmed as of this writing.
The scandal has also prompted broader conversations about digital ethics and the responsibilities of platforms like TikTok and Telegram in moderating harmful content. As one report noted, Trahov’s actions echo controversial “African casting” tropes prevalent in certain online communities, exacerbating perceptions of neocolonial exploitation.
In a video that surfaced recently, Trahov was confronted via video call by a Nigerian woman he met in Ghana, who accused him of refusing to provide transport money after an unprotected encounter—adding layers to the allegations of irresponsibility and disregard for the women’s well-being.
As the investigation unfolds, advocates are calling for stronger protections against such invasions of privacy and for education on consent in the digital age. Trahov’s case serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by women in an increasingly connected world, where personal moments can be weaponized for online notoriety. Authorities have not yet released an official statement on his whereabouts or next steps in the probe.
