How My Father Deflowered Me And Forces Me To Sleep With Him – 17-Yr-Old Confesses

A 17-year-old female student of Takoradi Senior High School (names witheld) revealed in an interview that her biological father deflowered her and has been having s*xual intercourse with her regularly for the past nine months, at his Adiembra residence near Sekondi. According to the girl, her father who was staying temporary in Spain returned to Ghana in december last year. “At the age of 16, I had not slept with any boy or man, but my father returned from Spain last December and started having s*x with me,” she said. The girl said her parents were divorced and her father was the one taking care of her so he threatened to stop supporting her if she told anybody. “If my father doesn’t pay my fees no one will. My mother does not have the means to take care of me in school so I was afraid to inform anybody about my ordeal; not even my mother,” she said. She also revealed that her father stopped her from going to church in fear that she might inform some of the church leaders of what he had been doing to her. The girl indicated that on Friday August 23, 2013, after she had returned from school her father demanded to have s*x with her but she refused and he gathered all her belongings including school uniforms, text and exercise books and set them ablaze. “After that he still wanted to have s*x with me so I ran away to a neighbour’s house and it was there that I broke the news to some of the residents. It was learnt that personnel of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVSSU) of the Ghana Police Service in Sekondi yesterday arrested the father and placed him in custody pending further investigations, after a report was made. A medical report form was issued to the 17-yr-old victim to seek medical care after which the accused was arrested. -
