32-year-old teacher jailed 12 years for defiling 12-year-old class 6 pupil

Chief Inspector Godsway Kromoah, who led the prosecution, told the court that the victim’s mother, a 43-year-old businesswoman residing at Combine, a suburb of Akosombo, had engaged Mensah to provide private French lessons for her daughter, a Class Six pupil.

A 32-year-old teacher has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by the Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court for defiling his 12-year-old pupil.

The court heard that Mensah allegedly warned the victim not to disclose the incident, claiming it would bring shame to her, and threatened to fail her in his subject in the end-of-term examinations if she reported him.
