Peacefmonline.com can authoritatively confirm that Ghanaian broadcaster, Kwesi Kyei Darkwa alias K.K.D the Finest, has been arrested by the Airport police for an alleged rape offence. Anonymous but credible sources at the Airport Police Station say the showbiz personality was arrested Saturday night. He has however denied the claim by the victim. Peacefmonline.com can also confirm that the victim is a 19 year old aspiring model. Her mother is said to be a well-established businesswoman. The sexual encounter is alleged to have happened in a "bathroom" of the African Regent Hotel suite. Meanwhile, counsel for the renowned broadcaster, Nana Asante Bediatuo, has told the media that allegations of sexual assault are �false and ridiculous.� In separate interviews on two Accra-based radio stations, he asserted that his client and the woman in question were in a consensual relationship and that the claims of rape being bandied about are untrue. According to him, the burden of proof lies on the victim, since after the alleged sexual assault, the two went outside of the bathroom, had drinks and watched a show together in the suite. �Yes, somebody has made a rape allegation but it is actually false the story is ridiculous...It is not true that he has raped anybody. He had a consensual relationship with a woman and for some reason � I don�t know and I don�t care what her motive is � she now claims it�s rape but that is false,� he said. "There were other people around and it's difficult for me to understand how a person can be forced to have sexual relations and the people around won't hear cries or shouts for help," he stated. A "shocked" and completely "disorganized" KKD, is currently being held at the Airport police station while investigations continue, his counsel added. Rape is not a bailable offence. More soon....
