'Wrong' KKD 'rape' victim threatens to sue media houses

A 20-year-old lady whose image was wrongly used by sections of the media as the victim who was allegedly raped by Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD), has threatened to drag all those media houses to court.

Grace Omane, a resident of Darkuman in Accra, said the media houses circulating her image failed to contact her to ascertain if she was indeed the victim in the alleged rape saga.

Ace broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwa, (KKD), was arrested Saturday night after a 19-year-old lady filed a complaint at the Airport Police Station alleging sexual assault on her in a bathroom at the African Regent Hotel.

The identity of the lady was not immediately known and has still not been made known by the Police.

However, a photo of Grace Omane was splashed on various social media platforms purporting to be the victim in the rape saga.

Speaking on TV3 Monday, Grace said the situation has embarrassed her.

“I was at home [on Sunday] and had several calls that my picture is all over, saying KKD raped me whilst I don’t even know KKD and I have never even met him before.”

“I am really feeling awful because they are tarnishing my image,” she said adding: “My name is everywhere.”

Grace added that she would drag all the media houses that used her image without cross-checking to court.
