Lawson Media has officially apologised following widespread backlash over its decision to air a controversial broadcast that featured a young lady recounting her sexual relationship with an elderly man.
The broadcast, which sparked outrage across the country, was condemned for exposing sensitive and distressing details about the young girl’s life.

The story, which aired last week, showed the young lady revealing that she had been in a sexual relationship with the elderly man since she was just seven years old.
The broadcast, which included the girl’s face and personal testimony, drew significant criticism from the public, media experts, and child protection organisations for its potential harm to the young lady’s privacy and well-being.
Minister of Communications, Sam George, was one of the first to voice her concerns, publicly calling out Lawson Media for airing such sensitive content without considering the emotional and psychological impact on the minor involved.
The Minister also questioned the ethical responsibility of the media house, particularly in situations involving minors, and promised to act on the matter.
In response to the public outcry and the Minister’s remarks, Lawson Media issued an official apology.
The media house acknowledged that its decision to air the broadcast was a misjudgment and expressed regret for the distress it caused.
