  • Macjey 7 years ago

    You are such a foolish guy. What of the strong sperm that made her pregnant.

  • EFO KOKU 7 years ago

    The fact that the DNA proved that he's not the father of the child doesn't mean he didn't defile the girl. Not all defilements end up in pregnancy. Ghana police and judges are dumb.

  • OZA 7 years ago

    Also the fact that this teacher is not the father of the baby means that the girl was being "done" by more than one man. Hmmm

    Good my brother

  • K. MANU 7 years ago

    Was he charged with defilement or pregnancy? Having sex with a person does not automatically result in pregnancy. Therefore, l disagree with the verdict. The fact of the matter is that the teacher was charged with "DEFILEMENT ...

    Supreme Court was right. A 14yr-old girl is found pregnant. Girl claims teacher is responsible. Teacher's plea of innocence was rejected based on the pregnancy. Now, if DNA test proves that teacher is not the father of the ba ...

    Why was "Paternity Test"not conducted at that time before the Judgement?

  • Maame 7 years ago

    2012- 2017? Meaning it took 5yrs for a DNA test? Ghana!

  • Odikro 7 years ago

    This is unfortunate. He may get a monetary compensation, but who or what compensates him for the lost reputation.

  • Kojo Mensah 7 years ago

    You get it all wrong! What of the defilement case? 15yrs old was involved. So what is the acquittal referring to? ??

  • Bill, USA. 7 years ago

    The child might not be his but the raping might have taken place.

  • Wisdom 7 years ago

    Ghana's new government needs to fix the way prosecutions and bail are managed.
    1) No charges should be made until police have DNA evidence or very strong other evidence
    2) Forensic labs should be funded to process DNA sampl ...

    Hmmmm....ghana ! This is pure nonsense. After 15yrs of wastage, the lady's parents and the state must pay for all he has lost till his pension at 65yrs.shame to all those involved.

    nation Ghana i intend writing but never meant judges plss !

  • Précis 7 years ago

    I don't understand this judgement. He might not be the father of the child but it does not mean he did not rape the girl. The DNA merely proved he did not father the child but did not prove he did not defile the then young gi ...

    Didn't they go to court to argue that that girl was a Virgin and hadn't had sex before they claimrd the teacher raped her?

  • Honesty 7 years ago

    Precis, your stake is very interesting and it's worth reading. However we could develop some hypothesis to make some derivations here:

    1. He might have gone to the prison based on a mere rape speculations without being tes ...

  • Dickson 7 years ago

    Excused me to say , some of these judges are a big fools. Why should you look upon the eyes of the Lord and sends someone to prison without evidence to prove his guilt. I don't know what is wrong with Africans

  • Azirela Azebile 7 years ago

    God has really delivered you, colleague.

    We thank him for His Mercies.

    I wish you well Brother Asante !

  • Victor A. Young 7 years ago

    Exonerated with compensation or without? He can't just be freed without compensation, once it's been established that the Teacher was innocent after all the many years in jail.

    IDIOTS! SHE MAY HAVE BEEN PREGNANT BEFORE SHE WAS DEFILED.
