    Not a good excuse for them to be defiled. I stopped reading your posts after the first sentence. Let's save our girls.

  • MAY GOD JUDGE d JUDGE 11 years ago

    the judge is angry because he probably asked the boy for a minimal bribe but the boy couldn't pay.

  • Angie 11 years ago

    The defilement took place when the boy was a minor at 17yrs old. Although, he deserve to be punished, 15yrs in prison is pretty harsh. Ghana is being rape by politicians & none are in prison.

  • GHANAIAN WOMAN 11 years ago

    You're very right Kev, this is a very stupid unjust sentence for such a crime, if it can be called a crime. An 18yr old does not need to go to jail for 15years unless its for premeditated murder. How do the judges come up wit ...

  • GyO 11 years ago

    I normally do not voice out my opinion here but I am compelled to as this doesn’t make any sense. So Judges in Ghana are now comparing sex offenders to murders? Besides, the boy was not even an adult at the time of the offe ...

    Politicians have raped and defiled this nation for many years. Not a single one has been questioned, not to talk of "ofa" and his team printing new money and swallowing a chunk of it. They celebrate 5o years of Ghana's indepe ...
