A 28-year-old man appeared before an Accra Circuit Court. He faces allegations of defiling a 14-year-old girl.
The incident reportedly took place last week in Accra. Authorities have stated the girl was 14 years old at the time of the alleged offense.
The court has ordered the man to be remanded in police custody. This will allow for further investigation into the case.
Prosecutors presented the initial charges to the court. The defense team stated their position.
The victim’s age is a key factor in the charges brought forward.
The court has adjourned the case. This is to allow police to gather more evidence and statements.
