‘Pragya’ rider jailed 15 years for defilement

 

A tricycle ‘Pragya’ rider has appeared before the Tarkwa Circuit Court for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old pupil at Matwamatwa, a suburb of Asankrangwa in the Wassa Amenfi West Municipality.

David Owusu, 21, charged with defilement pleaded guilty with explanation, but the court presided over by Mrs Hathia Ama Manu rejected Owusu’s explanation and sentenced him to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour.

The Prosecutor, Superintendent of Police Juliana Essel-Dadzie, told the court that the complainant is a police officer at Asankrangwa and his wife is related to the victim.

She said on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at about 1:30 pm, while Owusu was working in Asankrangwa township, he chanced on the victim who was on his way to the auntie’s shop, and he picked her up.

Superintendent Essel-Dadzie said when they got to the shop, Owusu failed to stop for the victim to alight and sped off to his house, dragged her into his room, and had sexual intercourse with her.

The prosecutor said that after the act, Owusu took the victim to the aunty’s house where she changed her clothes and thereafter, he took her to the shop.

On May 1, 2024, the victim revealed her ordeal to one of the workers in her aunt’s shop and she informed the complainant and Owusu was arrested and sent to the Asankrangwa police station, and reported the matter. -GNA
