Prosecuting Chief Inspector Florence Tawiah told the court presided over by Mr Samuel Obeng Diawuo that the victim lived with her parents at Bogoso whilst the convict reside at Nyamekyekrom, a suburb of Bogoso. She said on January 8, this year, at about 1300 hours, whilst in school the convict informed the victim that her terminal report card was ready in his house and therefore asked her to follow him to Nyamekyekrom for it. According to the Prosecutor, when she got to Tawiah�s house he lured the victim into his room and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her, after which he told her not to inform anybody about the act. Inspector Tawiah said, the victim could not endure the pains and so she narrated her ordeal to her father in tears when she got home.
