Teacher allegedly “fingers” 6-year-old pupil

 

A 27-year-old teacher was on Tuesday hauled before the Accra Circuit Court for allegedly inserting his fingers into the private parts of a six -year-old female pupil.

Joseph Asamoah Offei has pleaded not guilty to a charge of indecent assault at the court, presided over by Mrs Janet Harriet Akweley Quaye.

He has been granted bail in the sum of Gh₵ 50,000 with two sureties to reappear at the court on September 28, 2017.

Vacation classes

Offei is said to have committed the act on two occasions on August 22, 2017 during a vacation class.

The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Kofi Atimbire, said on that fateful day, Offei, inserted his fingers into the pupil’s private part at the back of the class in the presence of her colleagues.

Not satisfied, the prosecutor alleged that Offei lured the pupil into another class, committed the same act and allegedly sucked her breast.

“The pupil after going through all these, started crying and went to her sister in another class to inform her about the incident. After the class, the two went home and told their father. Based on this, the father lodged a complaint at the police leading to Offei’s arrest,’’ Chief Inspector Atimbire said.
