KKD was arrested on Saturday night<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, at the African Regent Hotel for allegedly sexually assaulting a 19-year-old\u00a0Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson.<\/p>\nThe prosecution in court on Tuesday opposed the bail application filed by lawyer of KKD, Nana Asante Bediatuo, insisting that the charge of rape is a non-bailable offence.<\/p>\n
KKD’s lawyers, led by Nana Asante Bediatuo argued that the fact presented by the prosecution does not support the charge, hence prayed the court to grant their client bail.<\/p>\n
But the court presided over by Adwoa Akyaamaa rejected the application stressing that the charge leveled against KKD does not allow for a bail.<\/p>\n
The case has however been \u00a0adjourned to January 8, 2015.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Nana Asante Bediatuo in an interview with Citi News\u00a0<\/strong>was confident that his client will be granted bail explaining that \u00a0looking at the \u201ccircumstances of this case, there is a strong likelihood that he will be granted bail.\u201d<\/p>\nHe also insisted that KKD had \u201cconsensual sex\u201d with the \u00a0complainant and not rape.<\/p>\n
