Father and Son Impregnate 15-Year-Old Primary four pupil

A father and son who had sex with a 15-year-old primary four pupil, resulting in pregnancy, have been sentenced to a total of 44 years in prison.

The Koforidua Circuit Court which handed out the sentence Thursday, gave the father, Daniel Kwaku Danquah, a farmer aged 43, a maximum of 24 years while his son, Moses Danquah, aged 23, a cushion liner, was given 20 years, both with hard labour.



The incident occurred at Nobi, a village near Akyem Tafo in the Eastern Region on different dates in November and December, last year and January, this year.

Both father and son, who were charged with defilement, pleaded guilty before the court presided over by Madam Wilhelmina Hammond.

Presenting the facts of the case to the packed court, the prosecutor, Inspector Patrick Adzadza, said the girl and the convicts lived in the same vicinity at Nobi.

He said sometime in November, 2011, when the girl’s grandmother with whom she was staying left for Somanya, their home town, for a funeral, Kwaku Danquah forcibly had sex with her in her grandmother’s room.

Inspector Adzadza said after the act, Kwaku Danquah warned her not to disclose what happened to anyone else he (Kwaku Danquah) would cause her arrest.

He told the court that in December, 2011, Moses Danquah, son of Kwaku Danquah, also had sex with the girl on three separate occasions in the same room and when he attempted to repeat the act for the fourth time in January, 2012, he detected that the girl was pregnant.

When her grandmother detected that the victim had become pregnant and questioned her, the girl told her that although Kwaku Danquah was responsible for the pregnancy, his son Moses also had sex with her on three occasions.

He said both the father and the son admitted having sex with the girl in their caution statements and that a medical report put the girl’s last menstrual period at October, 2011.
