A 21-year-old school drop-out, who sodomized an 11-year-old boy at the Tarkwa Railway station, has been sentenced to 19 years' imprisonment with hard labour by the Tarkwa Circuit Court.
The convict, Kwadwo Mumuni, who was charged with one count of defilement, pleaded guilty to the offence.
Prosecuting Detective Sergeant Dominic Appiah Kusi told the court presided over by Mrs Hathia Ama Manu that the complainant, 29-year-old woman is the mother of the victim, who had stopped schooling.
He said Mumuni had no permanent place of abode but was often seen roaming at the Tarkwa Railway station.
