A court in Kaneshie has handed a 10-year prison sentence to a 28-year-old man.

The sentence follows his conviction for defiling a 14-year-old girl.

The court heard that the incident took place in the Ga West Municipality.

Details of the court's decision were made public by the Judicial Service.

The Judicial Service stated that the conviction was based on evidence presented during the trial.

This case highlights the ongoing efforts to protect children from such crimes.

The sentence serves as a deterrent to others who might consider harming young people.
