A 26-year-old trader has appeared before the Juaso Circuit Court for allegedly defiling two girls, both 14 years, at Akronwe in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality.<\/p>\n
Charles Agyapong who was arrested three years later after committing the first crime has been remanded into Police custody.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”MqE41NgPGjYsITdGaiF4zJ2XOMNFGWhL”]He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of defilement.<\/p>\n
Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Birikorang Peasah told the court presided over by Mr Fredrick Tetteh that the accused on August 13, 2012 defiled the first victim and fled the town.<\/p>\n
Prosecution said there was a gospel crusade in the town on the said day, during which he lured the victim to an uncompleted building and had sex with her.<\/p>\n
A witness in the case spotted the accused sexually abusing the victim, compelling him to flee the scene.<\/p>\n
The witness informed the mother of the victim who made a formal complaint at the Peminase Police Station.<\/p>\n
The Police after issuing a medical form for the victim to attend hospital mounted a search for the accused.<\/p>\n
Mr Peasah said the accused who secretly returned to the town this year was arrested on June 9, by members of the Unit Committee after defiling another girl.<\/p>\n
This time, according to the prosecutor, he lured the victim who had gone to do her homework at a friend’s place to his house at about 2200 hours on June 4.<\/p>\n
When she returned home, the victim informed her parents who reported the incident to the Police, leading to the arrest of the accused.<\/p>\n
