Man Jailed 180 Days For Fondling Minor’s Breast

A factory hand worker has been sentenced to 180 days imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court for fondling the breast of a 10 year old and then asking her to suck his manhood. This was after the court found the 26 year old Emmanuel Mbachu guilty on charge of indecent assault. Prosecution, led by the Superintendent of Police Agnes Boafo said complainant was a businessman residing at Palladium in Accra.

The accused person, now convict, resides in the same house at Korle-Gonno with the victim. On the January 29, 2023, at about 10:00 am, the complainant who is the victim’s uncle, came to Korle-Gonno to visit the victim’s father, but he didn't meet him or the victim in the house. The prosecution said that as the complainant was still waiting, the victim’s father had called the complainant and asked him to check on the victim for him.

It said the complainant then asked children playing in the house whether they had seen the victim around. Prosecution said two children informed the complainant that they saw the victim entering the accused person’s room. It said complainant knocked at Mbachu’s door but there was no response. The Prosecution said that the complainant knocked for the second time and Mbachu opened the door. It said that the complainant asked the convict if he had seen the victim, then Mbachu quickly went inside and brought the victim.

The prosecution said when the victim was quizzed as to what she was doing in Mbachu’s room, she said Mbachu fondled her breast and asked her to suck his manhood and then had sex with her. The complainant reported the matter to the Police at Korle-Bu, but the matter was then referred to the Domestic Violence and Victim’s Support Unit at Mamprobi. It said a Police medical report form was issued to the complainant to seek medical care for the victim.
