The Agona Swedru Circuit Court has sentenced a 25- year-old barber to 18 years imprisonment in hard labour for defiling a 10-year-old school girl at Gomoa Aboso, near Agona Swedru.
Isaac Prah from Gomoa Aboso was convicted on his own plea of guilty. Prosecuting, Police Inspector Alfred Boatey, told the Court Presided over by Mrs Ever Williams Bannerman that the Prah stayed with the victim in the same vicinity at Gomoa Aboso.
He said on June 17 parents of the victim traveled and Prah took advantage of their absence and sent the little girl to buy him sachet water. When the victim returned with the water the convict asked her to send the water into his room.
Prah locked the door, gagged her, defiled her and warned her not to tell anybody else she would die. Inspector Boatey said the girl’s sibling later discovered that blood was oozing from her private part and reported the matter to Agona Swedru Divisional Command of Domestic Violence Victim and Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Police who arrested Prah.
