A 17-year-old female student of Takoradi
Senior High School (name withheld) revealed
in an interview that her biological father
broke her virginity and has been having
s*xual intercourse with her for the past nine
months, at his Adiembra residence near
Sekondi.
According to the girl, her father who was
sojourning in Spain returned to Ghana
December last year and that was when it all
started. “At the age of 16, I had not slept
with any boy or man, but my father returned
from Spain last December and started having
s*x with me,” she said.
The girl said her parents were divorced and
her father was the one taking care of her so
he threatened to stop supporting her if she
told anybody. “If my father doesn’t pay my
fees no one will do it. My mother does not
have the means to take care of me in school
so I was afraid to inform anybody about my
ordeal; not even my mother,” the victim
claimed.
She also revealed that her father stopped her
from going to church in fear that she might
inform some of the church leaders of what he
had been doing to her.
The girl indicated that on Friday August 23,
2013, after she had returned from school her
father demanded to have s*x with her but
she refused and he gathered all her
belongings including school uniforms, text
and exercise books and set them ablaze.
“After that he still wanted to have s*x with
me so I run away to a neighbour’s house and
it was there that I broke the news to some of
the residents.
It was learnt that personnel of the Domestic
Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVSSU)
of the Ghana Police Service in Sekondi
yesterday arrested the father and placed him
in custody pending further investigations,
after a report was made. Also, a medical
report form was issued to the 17-year-old
girl to attend hospital after which the
accused person was arrested.
