A man accused of defiling a 16-year-old girl has been sent to jail by a circuit court in Kumasi. The court has decided he should remain in custody while the case continues.
The alleged incident happened last month. The suspect is 35 years old.
He faces serious charges related to defilement. These are illegal acts against minors.
The KMA Circuit Court in Kumasi heard the case. This court deals with criminal matters in the area.
Prosecutors believe they have enough evidence to charge the man. They presented their case to the judge.
The judge ruled that the man should be remanded. This means he will stay in prison until his next court date.
His next court appearance is scheduled for next week. This will allow the legal process to move forward.
The Ghana Police Service is investigating the case thoroughly. They are gathering more evidence.
