A man is in custody facing serious charges. The Takoradi court has denied him bail. This comes after he was accused of defiling a young girl.
The alleged crime happened last week in Takoradi. The victim is a 13-year-old girl. Details about the incident were presented to the court.
Judicial Service records show the suspect is 35 years old. He appeared before the Takoradi court. Prosecutors laid out the charges against him.
The court decided to remand the man. This means he will stay in jail while the investigation continues. He has not yet entered a plea.
The Ghana Police Service is handling the ongoing investigation. They will gather more evidence. The legal proceedings are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
This case highlights a concern for child protection. Authorities continue to work to ensure justice.
