Presiding judge Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku did not take the plea of the parents of the accused and asked the five boys to re-appear on January 4, 2018.
The suspects were said to have lured the girl while she was taking a stroll at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in Osu.
The prosecution said that they fondled her and forced her to sleep with them at a dark spot near Osu Salem School in Accra.
A video later emerged, showing the boys inserting their fingers into the girl’s vagina. They were said to have threatened her with a knife not to mention the incident to anyone.
But the videos of the act went viral and the uncle of the victim received a copy. He subsequently questioned his niece, who disclosed what she had gone through.
The matter was reported to the police, and the five boys were arrested.
