Nelson Abotsi who is a 26 year old taxi driver has been pronounced judgement on to nine months internment by the Assin Fosu Magistrate Court chaired over by His Worship Abdul Majid Iliasu, for twiddling with the vagina of a five-year-old. An amount of Ghc2,000.00 was defrayed by the felon as medical bills of the victim.
He was later charged with indecent and pleaded being guilty. Sergeant Matilda Osaah Buabeng, who is the police prosecutor and presented the case in court, explained that the complainant who is the mother of the victim (name withdrawn) is a subject of Assin Fosu but resides in Assin Edubiase with her five-year-old daughter, a KG 1 child. The convict was employed by the victim’s mother to be taking her ward to school on daily basis, but ended up doing it for a month before the incident happened. The prosecution explained that on March 1, 2022, the convict took the victim from school as usual but on their way home, the victim fell asleep in the car. The convict then took unjustifiable advantage of the status quo and parked his taxi cab by the roadside and fingered the victim to his satisfaction before sending her home.
The victim informed her mother upon reaching home because she was not happy with what had happened. The mother filed a complaint at the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit at Assin Fosu, a medical form was issued for the victim to seek medical examination for confirmation of the act.
The convict, who was arrested the same day, admitted to the offense in his caution statement and was convicted consequently on his own plea.
