Teacher forces 7-year-old to give him "BJ"

A strange and bizarre story of a teacher sexually assaulting a 7-year-old, class two pupil, is attracting widespread attention and condemnation.

The parents of the child have expressed concern over the slow pace of Police and Court proceedings.

Citifm sources say in October this year, during a class recess, the class two teacher, Wisdom Ahorlu of the Grace International School in Ofankor, a suburb of Accra, asked the 7-year-old girl to stay behind after classes so he could talk to her.

The child obliged and Mr Ahorlu subjected the poor 7-year-old to a bizarre and gory sexual ordeal.

The father of the child, Mr Julius Darko, narrating what happened to his daughter to Citifm, said "the teacher put his manhood in my daughter's mouth and asked her to lick it till he later told her to spit out his semen."

Mr Darko said his daughter had since suffered emotional and physical trauma and had to quit schoo.

"We are trying to calm her down and keep advising her to be very careful, especially with men, because she's going through emotional truama now and can sit silently staring at nothing for a long time," Mr Darko added.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Director of Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit, ASP Serwah Ameidi, in an interview with Citifm, confirmed the incident and stated that the culprit had confessed and had been arraigned since.
