Teacher jailed years for defiling a 12-year-old girl

The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court has sentenced a 28-year-old private school teacher to 12 years imprisonment with hard labour in the Eastern Region, Ghana.

“The accused sent the victim on errand in one of their offices after school classes, only to indulge her in a sexual intercourse,” reports said.

“He threatened to flog the victim if she discloses the sexual encounter,” the court persisted.

Her inability to walk caused the mother to worry, heightening her suspicions.

The victim disclosed to her mother that the teacher had defiled her.

A formal complaint by the mother to the police led to his arrest and prosecution.

The convict admitted defiling the victim in his statement on five different occasions.

The suspect pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement when he first appeared in court presided over by His Honour, Kwase Apiatse Abaidoo.
