An unemployed 18-year old young man has been sentenced to 18 years imprisonment by Bibiani Circuit Court in the Western North Region for defiling a four-year-old girl.
Kwaku Mensah, a resident of Dabiasem in the Western North Region pleaded guilty for the charge.
The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Benjamin Owusu Agyeman told the court, presided over by His Honour Yaw Owoahene Acheampong that the victim on July 5, this year, at about 22:00 hours was sent by her mother to deliver corn to the suspect, which led to the unfortunate incident.
The four year old gurl was further left to her fate in a bush for about four hours after her defilement. According to the prosecutor, the victim was later found in a pool of blood and then rushed to Juaboso for treatment where doctors confirmed she suffered multiple tears on the walls of her vagina with her hymen broken.
Narrating the incident on Accra FM Friday Morning, the father of the victim bemoaned lack of funds to ensure treatment of the child. He disclosed that the anus and vagina of his daughter has become one thereby forcing her to pass stool through her genitals.
He further revealed the pains and cries the four year old girl has to pass through before she could urinate or pass stool. He called on Ghanaians to help him raise money to treat the little girl.
