A man is in custody after being accused of defiling a 15-year-old girl. A court in Sekondi made the decision to remand him.
The alleged crime happened last week. It is reported to have taken place in the Western Region.
The case was brought before the Sekondi circuit court. Prosecutors presented the accusations against the man.
The court heard the details of the alleged defilement. The judge decided to keep the accused man in custody.
This means he will remain in jail while the investigation continues. The court has not set a date for the next hearing.
Further legal proceedings will take place once investigations are complete.
