A Kasoa Circuit Court has ordered a 25-year-old man to be held in police custody. The man faces a serious charge of defilement.
The alleged victim is a 13-year-old girl. Court filings indicate the alleged offending happened over a period of weeks.
The prosecution presented the case to the court. Details surrounding the alleged defilement were heard.
The court considered the information presented before making its decision. The suspect was ordered to be remanded.
He will remain in police custody as investigations continue. This allows authorities to gather more evidence.
The case has been adjourned to a later date. Further legal proceedings will take place at that time.
This matter is being handled by the judicial service.
