The Accra Regional Police Command has taken over a case involving the alleged defilement of a 13-year-old epileptic girl by five boys from the Amasaman District Command.
The suspects aged between eight and twelve years have been accused of sexually assaulting the victim some weeks ago.
A doctor’s report cited by Citi News confirmed that the hymen of the victim had been forcefully broken.

But a source at the regional command tells Citi News that the regional office has taken over the case and instituted investigations into the matter.
Mother of victim demands justice
The mother of the victim had appealed to the Police to investigate the circumstances that led to the defilement of her 13-year-old epileptic daughter who was allegedly assaulted sexually by five boys, with one as young as eight years.
According to the mother, though the case was reported to the police at Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region, not much has been done about the case.
“I came back from work one afternoon and I was told that about five boys had defiled my daughter through the anus and the front. My daughter was sick so I gave her first aid and took the matter to the police station. Five boys were involved, two are eight years, one is ten years and the others are eleven years,” she said.
