Father in trouble for allegedly having sex with daughter

A 31 year-old father, who allegedly had sexual intercourse with his 13-year-old daughter, has been arrested by the Swedru Divisional Command of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU).

Suspect, Frank Quainoo, also known as Kofi Amakye, was nabbed by the police on Thursday after Mr Kwame Eyiah, an uncle of the victim, and the victim’s grandmother reported the matter.

Quainoo is expected to appear before the Agona Swedru Circuit Court today, Tuesday, August 13, 2019, after investigations have been completed, DOVVSU said.

Inspector Gloria Obeng, Acting Station Officer of Swedru Divisional Command of DOVVSU, disclosed these to the Ghana News Agency.

She said Quainoo took undue advantage of the absence of his wife and asked three of his daughters, including the victim to sleep in his room, but the two young ones refused and slept with their grandmother.

Insp Obeng said the victim, a primary five girl, went and slept in her father’s room and he forcibly had sexual intercourse with the girl.

Insp Obeng said the victim complained to her grandmother of severe pains as a result of the act.

She said Mr Eyiah, and the victim’s grandmother, reported the matter to DOVVSU, and a medical form was issued to the victim to attend the Swedru Municipal Government Hospital for medical examination.

Insp Obeng said doctor’s report indicate that the victim’s sexual organ had been damaged. – GNA
