Accra, Nov. 29, - A 47-year old Civil Servant has been
remanded into Police custody by an Accra Circuit Court over allegedly defiling
a 15-year old Junior High School Graduate, at Mamprobi.
Michael Adjetey is said to have
assured the victim of assisting her to secure placement in a Senior High School
(SHS) but ended up allegedly having sex with her in a hotel.
Adjetey, charged with defilement,
however, pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Joseph Turkson who
represented the accused vehemently denied the allegation after the facts were
narrated and prayed the court to admit the accused to bail.
However, the Court, presided over
by Mrs. Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku, turned down the bail application.
Adjetey is expected to reappear
on December 5.
Prosecuting, Assistant
Superintendent of Police (ASP) Agnes Boafo said the complainant, who was the
father of the victim, was an electrical engineer, residing at Ngleshie
Amanfrom, near Kasoa.
The Prosecution said Adjetey was
a staff of Controller and Accountant General’s Department, and resided at
Kasoa.
ASP Agnes said on September 6,
this year, at about 0800 hours the victim who could not secure SHS placement,
decided to go to the Ministry of Education, Accra, to see if she could get some
help.
The Prosecution said Adjetey met
the victim at the Ministry and after checking her result slip, he assured her
of a placement.
According to the Prosecution, the
accused stated that he had helped several people to travel and study abroad and
that securing SHS placement was not a big deal at all.
ASP Boafo said Adjetey then took
the victim to an office at Mamprobi and asked the victim to wait outside.
Later, the Prosecution said
Adjetey returned and picked the victim where they both sat in car with the
excuse that they were going to a Minister’s office.
The Prosecution said Adjetey,
however, took the victim to a hotel and had sex with her.
A report was made to the Police
and a medical form was issued to the victim to seek medical attention, while
the Police picked up Adjetey.
The accused person, the
Prosecution said, however, denied the offence in his caution statement.
