The accused, Kwaku Yeboe pleaded not guilty to the charge and would appear in court again on Tuesday, March 26, 2019.
Prosecuting, Sergeant Iddrissu Yakubu told the court presided over by Mrs Abena Boansah Aponsah that the complainant, Nagul Sanji, is the father of the victim and a security man living together with Yeboe in the same house at Nkanfoa, a suburb of Cape Coast.

The Prosecution said sometime in December 2018, the victim went to Yaboe’s room with her younger brother as usual to watch television, but Yeboe sent her brother on an errand, took advantage of her being alone with him and had sexual intercourse with her until ejaculation.
