A detailed medical report revealed the victim’s hymen had completely been broken.

Prosecutor, Detective Inspector Stephen Ofori, told the court Amponsah used his fingers, penis, and mouth to abuse the girl.

He said at about 11 a.m. on April 15, 2020, the accused called the victim on phone to go and do laundry for him at home.

Mr. Amponsah returned at about 1 p.m. to see the dirty clothes unwashed.

According to prosecution, he went to the victim’s house to call her but she refused to follow him.

He returned and managed to get the girl to follow him to his house.

On reaching there, he asked the girl to take the lead into his room but she objected.

The accused then dragged her inside, pushed her onto the bed, and forcibly had sex with her.

According to a report by Joy News, the detective Inspector Ofori said Amponsah’s mother later showed up and provided water for the victim to clean herself.
