A
\nmilitary officer with the Ghana Armed Forces who has been allegedly having
\nsexual intercourse with his own daughter has been dragged before an Accra
\nCircuit Court.<\/p>\n
Sergeant
\nEric Asare-Mante is accused of sexually abusing his daughter since she was nine
\nyears old \u2013 between 2013 and November 2018 when she turned 15.<\/p>\n
His
\nmodus operandi, according to police prosecutors, included shaving the pubic
\nhairs of his daughter and subsequently having sexual intercourse with her.<\/p>\n
He is
\nalleged to have warned the victim not to reveal the incestuous affair to
\nanybody else she will risk dropping out of school.<\/p>\n
Sgt.
\nAsare-Mante has been charged with two counts of defiling a child under the age
\nof 16 and incest, to which he pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
His
\nlawyer pleaded with the court, presided over by Rita Abrokwa Doko, to grant him
\nbail pending the trial.<\/p>\n
The
\ncourt, however, remanded him in custody until August 28 to decide on the bail
\napplication.<\/p>\n
Per the
\nfacts of the case as presented by Chief Inspector Kofi Atimbire, Sgt.
\nAsare-Mante between 2013 and November 2018 was living at Burma Camp in Accra
\nwith the victim who is his biological daughter.<\/p>\n
According
\nto him, the accused person had between the periods been having sexual
\nintercourse with the victim whenever he desired.<\/p>\n
The
\nprosecutor told the court that Sgt. Asare-Mante after having sex with the minor
\ngave her \u201csome tablets to take to prevent any pregnancy. The accused person
\nalso threatened to let the victim discontinue her education if she disclosed
\nher ordeal to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chief
\nInspector Atimbire narrated that the accused person last had sex with the
\nvictim in November 2018 and the victim had since been resisting the dad anytime
\nhe attempted having sex with her.<\/p>\n
He said
\nin July 2019 the victim visited her grandmother after her Basic Education
\nCertificate Examination (BECE) and confided in her uncle, one Henry Asante, who
\nalso informed the complainant, Rosemary Bosu, about the
\nvictim\u2019s ordeal.<\/p>\n
The
\nmatter was then reported to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit
\n(DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police and a medical form was issued for the victim to be
\ntaken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Asare-Mante was later arrested and put before court.<\/p>\n
