[contextly_sidebar id=”kRbQrYvRO5mWjM29wLfIIdaeazaniSmp”]Police Prosecutor Sergeant Raphael Azenyitiga said the victim, who is a pupil of Yirongo Junior High School, was returning home from an entertainment programme on November 22 when Azumah attacked her, pushed her to the ground and defiled her.<\/p>\n
The victim was left unconscious until she regained consciousness, walked home and reported her ordeal to her mother who rushed her to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Sergeant Azenyitiga said a report was made to the Police and the accused was arrested.<\/p>\n
Parents of the victim refused to appear in court because they wanted an out of court settlement but the presiding Judge refused and issued a bench warrant for their arrest.<\/p>\n
The judge said their action was irresponsible, negligent and they would be put before court for the law to take its course.<\/p>\n
He said children were national assets and gifts from God and there was the need for every parent to take good care of them.<\/p>\n
