From George Ernest Asare, Kumasi
A 39-year-old Police Sergeant, who could not control his sexual desires and allegedly sexually abused a colleague’s 14-year-old daughter, is now battling with the law.
According to the police, Sergeant Samuel Kojo Simons, stationed with the Regional Police Band in Kumasi, took advantage of the victim’s interest in watching films in his room at Efiekesiem at the Central Barracks to sexually molest her.
The suspect, who is said to have divorced his wife, has been remanded into prison custody pending police investigations into the case.
A statement issued by the Ashanti Regional Police Public Affairs Unit said the victim and her parents live at Adiebeba near Ahodwo, a Kumasi suburb but she frequents the barracks to play with her friends and watch television in the suspect’s room.
It said the alleged molestation was not detected until August 13, 2009 when the victim’s stepmother detected a change in her physical appearance and demanded to know what had happened to her.
The statement said upon persistent interrogation, the victim mentioned the suspect as the one who had sexually abused her on four occasions in his room.
It said when the suspect was arrested, he denied the allegations but investigations proved otherwise and so was charged with defilement.
