A 25-year-old man has shared how his male biology teacher back at Senior High School (SHS) allegedly initiated him into homosexuality.
In an interview on Onua FM, Kofi (not his real name) disclosed that he was the teacher’s favorite student as he performed well in class, hence preferential treatments did not cause him to be alarmed.
“I was a very intelligent student, so he became fond of me, the same as some other teachers. He often sends me to get something for him, or he asks that I escort him to places. He also sometimes supports me financially.”
But the advances became clear when he was in his final year at age 16, when he had to reside on campus despite being a day student.
Per his account, one night, he was invited by his teacher for dinner, a gesture he believed was the kindness of his tutor. Apparently, that day was when his teacher made a pass on him and eventually had sexual intercourse with him.
He narrated, “After we were done eating, I told him I had to go home and prepare because I would be returning for preps. He told me there was no need for me to go home and return to school, as I could shower at his place and even have my prep time in his bungalow, after which I could return home. So, I went to his bathroom to take my bath, and while there, he joined me naked. Because he was my teacher, I sought to cover myself because I was shy around him, but he told me not to worry,” he stated.
According to Kofi, his teacher sought his consent but could not tell how he gave in to his request as he was shell-shocked.
“… At that instant, he began to fondle my penis. At that instance, it did not occur to me that he was gay and he could have sex with me. All of a sudden, he held my penis into his mouth and was licking it. He asked me if I could have sex with him. I stood quiet for a long time because I didn’t know what to say, and then it happened. It was a painful experience, but he was my teacher, and he helped me sometimes, so whatever he said, I did,” he added.
Per the man’s narration, he was not defiled.
The Criminal Offences Act, 1960 defines defilement in Section 101(2) of Act 29 as natural or unnatural carnal knowledge of a child under sixteen years of age with or without the child’s consent.
But this revelation comes at a time when Ghana is close to criminalising the activities of the LGBTQ+ community.
