Accra, July 14, GNA- Kenneth Ofosu Mensah aka Obolo, a driver who is accused of defiling a minor between seven and nine years per bone age determination, has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.
The victim is said to sometimes shout in her sleep: “stop, it is paining me.”

Charged with defilement and indecent assault, Mensah, 31, has pleaded not guilty.
The Court presided over by Mrs Christina Cann has admitted Mensah to bail in the sum of GHS100,000 with three sureties, two to be justified.

Chief Inspector Terkpor said the victim resided with the complainant, her father, at Agbogboloshie.
The prosecution said Mensah lived near the complainant and the accused had been asking the victim to sweep his room often.
