The Accra Circuit, Court has acquitted and discharged the woman who was standing trial for allegedly inserting dildo into the vagina of another woman. 

The accused person, Queenie Akuffo, was acquitted and discharged on Wednesday morning after the court, presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku, ruled that the alleged victim consented to the act. 

According to the court, a video documenting the alleged act revealed that the alleged victim was in full support of the act.

The judge held that the video showed that when Queenie inserted the dildo into the victim's vagina, she (victim ) was fully aware and did not protest. 

In the said video, the judge held that the victim was seen urging the accused person to perform the act.
