Moro Yusif pled guilty to indecent assault and provided an explanation.
Yusif informed the court that he was playing with the victim to help him get an erection, and he placed her on his lap.
According to him, he got drenched in the process just as the victim’s mother called.
The accused said that the victim’s mother followed him to his room, saw that his boxer shorts were wet, and assumed that he had violated her.
“On my laps, I was using her buttock to rub my boxer shorts, although the victim was wearing her pants and a straight dress,” the accused told the court.
The prosecution requested the court to give the accused individual a deterrent sentence since, as an adult, he was responsible for protecting the victim rather than sexually abusing her.
Chief Inspector Opoku Aniagyei, who handled Chief Inspector Gladys Aikins-Asare’s brief, informed the court that the complainant was a merchant and the victim’s mother.
According to the prosecution, the persons involved lived in the same house in Accra’s Old Weija neighbourhood.
On January 8, this year, at 6:00 p.m., the complainant and her husband, a witness in the case, were sitting in front of their room and could see where their daughter was.
The prosecution claimed that a witness noticed the victim’s hand trying to open the accused person’s door.
According to the prosecutor, the complainant followed up by asking the accused what her daughter was doing in his room.
The accused individual did not respond.
The complainant escorted the victim away, but David Gyasi and a buddy proceeded to confront the accused, seeing that his boxer shorts were wet.
According to the prosecution, the accused informed them that the victim came to play in his room, and that he ejaculated in his boxer shorts and used his penis to brush the victim’s vagina.
On January 9, 2024, the complainant and two other witnesses reported the accused person to the Weija Divisional DOVVSU, where she was handed a police medical form to seek medical attention for the victim.
According to the prosecution, on January 15, 2024, the complainant returned the medical form that had been signed by a medical officer.
