Pastor on trial over sexual assault on three-year-old

A 24-year-old Pastor is on trial at the Accra Circuit Court for allegedly inserting his fingers into the genitals of a three-year-old girl at Chorkor in Accra.

Pastor Wisdom Kusorgbor pleaded not guilty after he was charged with indecent assault.

Pastor Wisdom Kusorgbor who is the Head pastor of Soldiers of the Cross Ministries, located at Korle-Gonno in Accra stays at Korle-Gonno but got to know the victim through his (Kusorgbor's) mother who lives in the same compound house with the complainant.

The prosecutor, Detective Inspector Kofi Atimbire, presenting the case said the complainant is the mother of the three-year-old girl adding that Pastor Kusorgbor gives his phone to the victim to watch cartoons anytime he visits them.

Detective Inspector Kofi Atimbire said "Pastor Kusorgbor carried the three-year-old child to his mother’s room to watch cartoons on his phone. While she was watching the cartoons, he inserted his finger and used his penis to brush her vagina but did not penetrate."

He said the girl later informed her mother about her ordeal at the hands of Pastor Kusorgbor.

"The mother lodged a complaint at the Mamprobi DOVVSU where a police medical form was issued to her to send the girl to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Pastor Kusorgbor was subsequently arrested and charged with the offence," he added.

The court presided over by Mrs Marian Affoh granted Kusorgbor bail in the sum of GH¢8,000 with three sureties.
