Some women activists have expressed disappointment over the withdrawal of alleged rape case against ace broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwa popularly known as KKD.
His accuser, Ewureffe Orleans Thompson through a letter withdrew the case from the court citing media frenzy for the decision.
The 19-year-old victim who is currently receiving counseling from her church elders believes God will be the best judge.
But the Executive Director of Gender Centre for Empowering Development, Esther Tawiah on Adom News said the action of the complainant is a huge mistake.
He explained that Ewuraeffe decision will deter other victims from seeking justice and allow popular figures like KKD who engage in such hideous crime get way.
�We were all behind her so this decision is very disappointing. Her action will deter teenage victim like her from reporting crime� she bemoaned.
Madam Esther Tawiah maintained that the victim should have followed the matter to its logical conclusion.On the contrary, Clinical psychologist, Dr Annie Gaisie believes the action taken by the victim is a step in the right direction.
She indicated that given the trauma the 19-year-old has been subjected to the media, continuing the case would have been destroyed her ego.
Dr. Gaisie said the public backlash after withdrawing the case is expected thus prescribed counseling for Ewuraeffe during this serious traumatic experience.
The clinical psychologist also urged KKD to also seek psychological help to regain his confidence.
She advised the ace broadcaster to put the humiliation behind him and rebuild his life.
