The Twifo Hemang District Court, presided over by Mr Maxwell Ofori Kpodo, has sentenced a 50-year-old man, Eric Adu Amissah, to six years imprisonment for sexually assaulting seven girls at Twifo Heman in the Heman Lower Denkyira District.

The victims, all minors between the ages of six and seven, are pupils at a cultural dance school operated by the convict.

According to Chief Inspector Joseph Kussah, the prosecutor, Adu Amissah, a choreography teacher, exploited his position as a cultural dance instructor to abuse the trust of his young pupils.

The convict allegedly used manipulative tactics, including buying soft drinks and toffees for the children and later applying lubricant on his penis and fingers to abuse them.
