Myjoyonline reports that, A 13 year old girl has been left temporarily
paralyzed after she was defiled by a middle- aged man at Pantang in
the Ga East
Municipality of Accra.
The suspect, who lives in the same vicinity
with his wife and children is said to have fled
following the incident.
Now, doctors say she needs immediate
surgery to repair her wounded private parts.
The victim's elder sister Maame Esi told Joy
News' Beatrice Adu the victim was sent to
deliver a message to the suspect but on her
arrival it began to rain and so the suspect
advised her to remain in the house until the
rain was over.
In the short period, the victim who Adu gave
a pseudo name as Akua, took a nap and the
suspect took advantage of that and defiled
her.
The alleged perpetrator identified only as
Paul, then threatened Akua with death if she
ever disclosed the ghastly sexual episode she
was subjected to.
For three months Akua suffered in silence, in
pain and her body became susceptible to
minor ailments.
It was then that her parents began asking
questions and the victim broke her long
silence.
The dark skinned beautiful girl, as Beatrice Adu
described her, had veins in her private parts
torn apart with doctors saying the assault
could affect her womb and hinder any future
possibilities of giving birth if she is not
quickly operated upon.
The family of the victim are now preparing
Akua for surgery but have no money.
Maame Esi and the victim's father
passionately called on philanthropists to
assist in having Akua operated upon and her
future secured.
