Man jailed for sexually abusing two minors

 A 26-year-old bookbinder will serve six months in prison after he was sentenced by Accra Circuit Court for sexually abusing two minors at Town Council Line in Accra.

Francis Tetteh is said to have engaged the two minors, aged six and seven, to pleasure him with their hands, after which he then inserted his fingers into their vaginas.

Police say Tetteh used his mobile phone loaded with movies to lure the minors before carrying out his act.

Tetteh, who was charged with two counts of indecent assault, pleaded guilty.

The court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku convicted Tetteh to six months jail term on each count. The sentences are to run consecutively.

Tetteh told the court that the two minors “forced” him to insert his fingers into their vagina.

“When I am alone, whenever I think about the act, I go and do it. I am not married, and I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Judith B. Asante said the complainants are co-tenants residing at Town Council Line and the minors are their daughters.

The prosecution said Tetteh usually comes to the victims’ house in the evenings and they watch movies on his mobile phone.

According to the prosecution, since last year, anytime Tetteh calls the minors to watch movies on his cell phone, he would sexually violate them.

The prosecution said he would repeat the act on the two minors any time he was in the vicinity.

Three weeks ago, the prosecution said the parents of the victims detected an unusual behaviour of the minors and when questioned the narrated their ordeal to their respective parents and a report was made to the Police where two medical report forms were issued to them to seek medical care.

Tetteh, in his caution statement, admitted the offence.
