A Tarkwa Circuit Court has sentenced Yaw Sekyi, a labourer, to 15 years imprisonment for defiling his nine-year old daughter.
He pleaded guilty.
Prosecuting, Police Detective Chief Inspector Oscar Amponsah, told the court, presided over by Mr Samuel Obeng Diawuo, that in December 2010 at Dompim near Nsuaem the victim’s mother, Madam Abigail Manu Cobbinah, sent her to her father to spend the Christmas holidays with him since they were divorced.
The prosecutor said the victim spent a week with her father and returned on January 4.
Inspector Amponsah said when the victim came back from school, she complained of pains in the vagina and said it was her father who inserted his fingers into her vagina when she spent the holidays with him.
