Man 24 defiles girl, six

Kofi Sam ,34, a mason, who lives at Amamoma, a community near the University of Cape Coast (UCC), has been remanded into Police custody for defiling a six-year old girl through the anus.

The accused pleaded guilty with explanation but the court presided over by Mr. Samuel Asare Nyarko after hearing him, entered a plea of not guilty for him and remanded him into Police custody. He will reappear on Friday, October 19th.

Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Charles Anku told the court that Sam on October 4, saw the victim around 0730 hours on her way to school and asked her to direct him to a provision store.

He said, the girl showed him two different stores but he did not like any of them and on their way to a third store, Sam grabbed her and forced her into an uncompleted structure nearby where he had anal sex with her.

After the act, the victim ran home amidst crying and informed her grandmother Madam Ekua Wangara, a farmer.

He said, Madam Wangara immediately organised people including the assembly man of Kwaprow, who assisted to arrest Sam and he was immediately handed-over to the Police.

Chief Inspector Anku added that a Police medical report form was issued to the complainant to take the girl to a government hospital for examination and treatment and the case was later transferred to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) in Cape Coast.
