Pastor beats hubby for defiling girl, 7

The Pastor of the Yehova Mission House at New Ningo who caught her husband defiling a seven year-old girl, on January 6, 2002, subjected him to some dirty slaps before handing him over to the Police.

Samuel Akweitey, 65, the alleged rapist, has been remanded in custody by a Tema Circuit Court. A medical report tendered in court revealed that the girl’s hymen had been broken and her vaginal orifice enlarged.

The prosecution told the court that on January 6, 2002 around 5.40 pm Akweitey, asked the victim to sweep his room at the Mission house, where they both resided. In the process, he dragged the little girl into his room and unto his bed, removed her panties and forcibly had sex with her. When the victim complained of pains, Akweitey asked her to shut up or she would die.

The accused’s stepdaughter who went into the hall to pick up something heard an unusual noise from the room and entered to find out what was happening. There she caught the stepfather in the act and reported it the pastor. The victim’s mother reported the matter to the police who arrested Akweitey.
