The Asante Akropong circuit court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North district has remanded a level 100 university student into prison custody for allegedly defiling a 13-year-old girl at Tanoso in the Kwadaso Municipality.
Raynus Ofori Mensah, a student of the Apenteng Appiah Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), pleaded not guilty to the charge of defilement.
He, however, told the court that he had been in a relationship with the victim for the past four months.
He will reappear before the court presided by Gloria Mensah Bonsu on December 8, 2025.
