Baker slapped 25 years for defiling Primary 5 pupil

The Tarkwa Circuit Court has sentenced Alfred Essuman Aimar, a baker, to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling an 11-year-old pupil at Prestea in the Western Region.

Aimar, who is popularly known as ‘Virgin Love’ pleaded not guilty to the offence, but after the case had gone through full trial, he was found guilty and sentenced accordingly by the court presided over by Hathia Ama Manu.

The prosecutor, Police Superintendent Juliana Essel-Dadzie, said the complainant, a trader, lived at Prestea with the victim who is her daughter, who attended school in the same vicinity.

She said Aimar also resided at Prestea and he and the complainant have been neighbours for years.

The prosecutor said on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 1600 hours, Aimar took advantage of the relationship between him and the complainant lured the victim into his room and had sexual intercourse with her after which he threatened to butcher the victim with cutlass if she told anyone.

Superintendent Essel-Dadzie said although the victim was scared, she mustered courage and informed the complainant, and she reported the matter at the Prestea police post.

Aimar was picked up by the police and during interrogation he admitted the offence in his caution statement, and a police medical form was issued to the complainant on behalf of the victim to seek treatment for her.

She said the medical form was returned to the police endorsed by the medical officer who attended to the victim.
