A National Service Person teaching at Sehwi Asawinso Methodist Primary B in the Sehwi Wiawso Municipality of the Western North Region has been arrested for allegedly defiling three of his students.
The suspect, Bismark Ansu, has been remanded into police custody by the Bibiani Circuit Court and is to reappear before the court on 29th May 2023.
He has been charged with three offenses; i) threat of death contrary to section 75 of the criminal offences 1960 [ACT 29], ii) defilement contrary to section 101 of criminal offences 1960 [ACT 29], and iii) threat of harm contrary to section 74 of the criminal offences 1960 [ACT 29].
Per reports from the court, Bismark reportedly managed to defile the minors in January 2023 in his house while holding extra classes to ensure he completes the syllabus.
This initiative is said to have not been approved by the school authorities.
It was only after the victims between the age of 8 and 9 started complaining of abnormal blood discharges that the alleged action came to light.
According to reports, the students kept silence in fear of losing their lives.
Following this, a report was made to the police at Sehwi Asawinso and a medical form was issued to the complainants to take the victims to any government hospital for examination, treatment, and endorsement, all of which corroborated the defilement claims.
The accused person was subsequently arrested. Meanwhile, the victims are responding to treatment.
