Choreographer jailed for defiling 7 girls
The Twifo-Hemang District Court, presided over by Mr Maxwell Ofori Kpodo, has sentenced a 50-year-old man, Eric Adu Amissah, to six years imprisonment for sexually assaulting seven girls at Twifo-Heman in the Heman Lower Denkyira District.
The victims, all minors between the ages of six and seven, are pupils at a cultural dance school operated by the convict.
According to Chief Inspector Joseph Kussah, the Prosecutor, Adu Amissah, a choreography teacher, exploited his position as a cultural dance instructor to abuse the trust of his young pupils.
The convict allegedly used manipulative tactics, including buying soft drinks and toffees for the children and later apply lubricant on his penis and fingers to facilitate the abuses.
The act was detected after the girls fell sick, one after the other and were sent to the hospital by their parents where they admitted that they have been defiled by Adu Amissah.
Adu Amissah, according to the prosecutor, jumped bail for six months after being granted bail during the initial stage of the investigation.
However, through the vigorous efforts of the Central North Regional Police Cyber Unit, the convict was located and arrested at Adenta in the Greater Accra Region.
On March 5, 2025, Adu Amissah was brought before the Twifo-Hemang District Magistrates Court to face seven counts of indecent assault, and he pleaded guilty to all counts.
He was, therefore, convicted on his own plea by the court. –GNA
