From Joe Okyere, Cape Coast.
For his lust, a 33-year-old farmer has been slapped with a 10 year sentence with hard labour for defiling a 13-year-old.
Samuel Ofori, pleaded with Justice Asiedu Badu, who presided at the Cape Coast Circuit Court to have mercy on him because he was under the influence of alcohol at the time he committed the crime.
Prosecuting, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Samuel Oduro Kwarteng-Addae, told the court that the accused lived in the same vicinity with the complainant.
DSP Kwarteng said on Sunday, May 9, this year, the complainant paid her a casual visit at Assin Abotreye in the Assin North Municipality.
He said, whilst leaving around 3.00p.m., the complainant implored the accused to allow her daughter to accompany him to a fish monger at a nearby village to change some fish she had bought from the fishmonger.
He said the accused managed to lure the girl into the bush and defiled her.
The accused was arrested after the girl had narrated her ordeal to her mother.
The accused said after taking some calabashful of palm-wine from a tapper he could not control his urge for sex.
