Junior High School pupil defiled by seven colleagues

Accra, Oct. 23, GNA - A 15-year Junior High School pupil has been defiled by seven of her colleagues at Maammobi in Accra leaving her bleeding profusely and crying.

The seven, who embarked on the vicious adventure tagged "Sex Gala", have been arrested by the police and are being kept at the Osu Juvenile Remand Home.

A source at the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) told the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday that on October 13 the victim went out during a rain to ease herself at a public toilet.

On her way she met the main suspect, her senior in the same school, who forcibly collected the umbrella she was carrying from her and took it home.

On her way back, the victim decided to pass his house to collect the umbrella. And that was where her ordeal started.

When the victim got to the house of the suspect, she was asked to enter the room, but immediately she stepped in, the suspect raised the volume of his tape recorder, pushed her onto his bed and forcibly had sex with her.

Although she shouted for help nobody heard her because of the high volume of the tape recorder.

After the main suspect had had his turn he invited six of his friends who gagged her, held her hands and legs tightly and each had sex with her one after the other.

According to the source, one the friends of the main suspect who was conversing with him before he left with an excuse of attending to a visitor decided to check on him after waiting for a while.

When the witness got to the room he saw the dress of the victim in the hall and when he tried to enter the bedroom, the rest of boys prevented him. He, however, forced his way into the room and saw the victim soaked in blood.

All the suspects fled and the witness led the victim to her house and informed her family of the incident. They in turn reported the matter to the Kotobabi Police who issued a medical form to her to see the doctor.

The suspects were apprehended and sent to the juvenile remand home.
