  • Seer 10 years ago

    Both the Attorney General and the Cape Coast Circuit Court judge must be jailed for raping the rule of law.

  • Kofi Ata, Cambridge, UK 10 years ago

    The reason the AG's department gave for discontinuing the prosecution is bizarre and illogical. Who ever said if a woman does not shut for help or scream whilst being rape, then that is consensual sex? This is madness, unless ...

    Ghana courts still practicing stone age laws.

  • CEESI 10 years ago

    There is a a big question mark over the whole concept of democracy in Ghana. I wonder why a whole judge should be instructed by the AG to trial in chance based on principle other than the judge's own analysis of the case. the ...

    Who is that reasonable Adult who would accept an appointment to be held in a hotel room for such nonsense such as braking a blood covenant.

    Is hotel room a chapel? ...

    Why can't we pray to God ourselves unless this generation of Evil reverend fathers and Evil Pastors. Africa we are far behind.

    I do not know whether to cry or laugh. I believe this Rev. Father Quartey is going to be officiating to lots of souls in Sunday and during the X'mas festivities to "deliver" the lost souls from their bondage!

    Rape is rape whether the young lady scream or not. so long as she says no. No means no. You can't just bend the law to get him off because he's a priest. You can't get away from God justice.

  • Joe 10 years ago

    AG Department has been bribed. This is an unfair to innocent young lady.

  • Joesant 10 years ago

  • Danso 10 years ago

    This is only in Ghana that such a judgement can occur. This is not a consensual sex. Even if one did not go to a law school, the dictionary can help one, at least the (Judge) to know the meaning of the word consensual.

  • no name 10 years ago

    This is why Ken Kuranchie came out of prison to declare that Ghanaians are uncivilised. I must make haste and come out with Part 1 of my planned series, "Ghanaians Are Uncivilised"- So Said Ken Kuranchie!

    You see they are not different from anyone else. The Anglican Church wanting to avoid disgrace used all its resources to get the case out of the court system. I can understand the pressure from their top hierarchy. THEY TALK ...

    Some women try to use sex to get what they want. Now when things go wrong they accuse the men of rape. My wife told me that her boss was sexually harassing her, when I decided to take the matter up she asked me to stop. Upon ...
