Cephas Avortre, a rubber tapper, who defiled a 14-year-old pupil, has been sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment in hard labour by the Tarkwa Circuit Court. Avotre, 20, pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement and was convicted on his own plea. Superintendent of Police, Juliana Essel-Dadzie, prosecuting, told the court, presided over by Mrs Hathia Ama Manu, that the complainant was a farmer and the victim's grandfather. The court heard that the complainant, convict, victim and her parents lived in the same town at Insu-Siding, in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality, but in different houses. Sup Essel-Dadzie said the girl left home to buy Indomie noodles in town as the parents had travelled.
