The Circuit Court in Tarkwa has sentenced an environment rehabilitation officer to 20 year's imprisonment with hard labour for defiling a 10-year -old girl at Brahabebome in the Western Region.
Charles Amankwah, 26, who was charged with two counts of having sex through the vagina and anus of the victim, pleaded not guilty.
After the full trial, the court presided over by Hathia Ama Manu, found Amankwah guilty of the crime and sentenced him to 10 years in prison on each count.
The sentences were, however, to run consecutively.
