A teacher, who defiled an under-aged school girl resulting in pregnancy, has been sentenced to 18 years imprisonment in hard labour by the Juaso Circuit Court.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”mIGE7Qe1PuhfImSzYmNmH4G4ffJ0ZwEc”]Daniel Asiedu, 29, stunned the packed court, when he expressed the desire to take the 14-year victim for a wife.<\/p>\n
He had committed the crime at Bompata, in the Asante-Akim South District, in January, and admitted his guilt.<\/p>\n
Police Detective Sergeant Princeton Peasah Darkwah told the court presided over by Mr Fredrick Tetteh that the convict, is a teacher at Asankare but stays at Bompata.<\/p>\n
He collected a science textbook belonging to the victim and refused to give it back despite persistent demands made on him to return it.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said sometime in January, the girl joined other members of her church at a crusade held at Bompata and decided to take advantage of the event to go for her book, and Asiedu seized the opportunity and forcibly had sex with her.<\/p>\n
On May 4, the girl complained of severe abdominal pains and was taken to the Juaso District Hospital for treatment by her uncle.<\/p>\n
Doctors, attending to her, requested for pregnancy test and the result showed she was carrying a 20-week pregnancy.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said she told the uncle about the traumatic experience she was taken through by the convict and a formal report was made to the police.<\/p>\n
