Kwaku Sevordzi Boateng was pleaded not guilty
A farmer,
who failed to control his libido and sneaked into a pit latrine, where his
wife’s niece, aged 14, was attending to nature’s call and defiled her, has been
jailed seven years by a Circuit Court at Aflao.
Kwaku Sevordzi Boateng, 45, has pleaded not guilty, but the Court, presided
over by Mr. Ali Baba Abature, thought otherwise.
The prosecution told the Court that the victim lived with her parents in a
house in which the accused person also resided with his wife, who is the
victim’s aunt at Tadzewu in the Ketu North District district of the Volta
Region.
At about 2100 hours on October, 2016, the victim went to attend to nature’s
call at the pit latrine located behind their house.
The prosecution said the accused, who seeing the victim going to the toilet,
hatched a plot and followed up, tiptoed to the toilet, grabbed and pinned the
victim to wall housing the toilet.
The prosecution said the accused then slid victim’s panties to one side and
forcibly had sexual intercourse with her and warned her to keep it secret, but
the victim finally revealed the ordeal to her parents.
