An Accra High Court has sentenced a man to 10 years in prison with hard labour. The court found the 35-year-old guilty of defiling an 8-year-old girl.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentence. The incident occurred in the Teshie area earlier this year.
The court heard evidence presented by the prosecutor. The details of the case were presented during the trial.
This sentence reflects the seriousness of crimes against children. Such offences carry significant penalties to deter others.
The conviction follows a thorough investigation by the Ghana Police Service.
