An 18-year-old driver's mate has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by a Kumasi Circuit Court for defiling a 14-year-old girl. Isaac Obeng, who pleaded guilty to the offence, insisted the victim was his girl friend.
Police Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told the Court presided over by Mr Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey that on January 14, the defiled girl
did not sleep in the house and when she returned the following morning, the grandmother queried her.
The girl told her she was lured by Obeng into a friend's room where she was sexually assaulted overnight.
Police Chief Inspector Baffour-Kyei said a complaint was therefore made to the Manhyia Division of the Domestic Violence and Victims' Support Unit.
A medical form signed by doctors confirmed defilement.
