\"Lawyerplay video<\/span>Maurice Ampaw says he was ‘defiled’ by an 18 year-old girl<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Popular Ghanaian lawyer, Maurice Ampaw has recounted a heartbreaking experience he had at age 11 after he was deceived by an 18-year-old<\/p>\n

He recounted how the lady lured him into playing a game with her just so she could exploit him sexually as he was naive about the whole idea.<\/p>\n

Maurice Ampau opened up about how the 18-year-old lady from Chorkor convinced him to play house -a game popularly known among Ghanaian children as \u2018Maame ne Paapa\u2019, where she played the role of a mother and he the father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI quite remember the first day I broke my virginity, it was rape\u2026.at the age of I think 11 years. We had this girl who was 18-years and was from Chorkor, and I from Sukura. So we did what we call \u2018Maame ne Paapa\u2019. So she said she was the \u2018Maame\u2019 and I was the \u2018Paapa\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the legal practitioner, he was not privy to what it meant to have an erection at such a tender age thus the act can be classified as sexual abuse. He added that he had the power to report her because criminal offence has no expiry date.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026.I can even today report her because she defiled me Kwabena Ampaw because the criminal offence has no expiry date.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ampaw condemned the act adding that most of such cases happen in compound houses where the older girls take advantage of innocent little boys to satisfy themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of these things happen especially in compound houses. You know where you have a young girl telling a young boy you are my husband. Some of them start to have sex without the young ones without their consent which is very bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legally, he stated that there are consequences for such immoral acts revealing that anyone found guilty is likely to face a maximum of 25-years in prison or a minimum of 7-years depending on the gravity of the situation<\/p>\n

Ampaw warned, \u201cIf you are a lady and you have sex with a guy who is below the age of 16 years, you have defiled him. You can go to prison maximum 25-years and minimum 7-years.\u201d<\/p>\n
