UPDATE: “MALLAM” JAILED FOR “FINGERING” 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL
A self-acclaimed Mallam and Spiritualist, John Afedzi a.k.a AT who doubles as a commercial driver will spend six months in prison with hard labour for inserting his fingers in the genitals of a 6year old girl at Ampekro Shed near Twifo Hemang in the Central Region.
He has also signed two years bond of good behaviour
The 25-year-old spiritualist was slapped with the jail term today, July 3, 2023, after the District Magistrate Court in Twifo Praso presided by His Worship Maxwell Ofori Kpodo ESQ, found him guilty of indecent assault.
The convict pleaded guilty simplicita to the charge of indecent assault contrary to section 103 of the criminal and other offences (ACT 29) of 1960 following the explanation by the prosecution Detective Inspector Joshua Kusah.
Narrating the facts of the case the prosecutor said the convict who stayed in the area with the victim, lured the 6-year-old girl to his room and indecently assaulted her.
The convict, after dressing up the victim threw her out of the room.
A few days later the victim started feeling pains and discomfort when urinating and thus after interrogation by the mother, the victim confirmed the convict had inserted his fingers in her genitals.
The judge also took into consideration the absolute remorse of the convict and the fact that he is a first-time offender hence the 6 months sentence and 2-year bond of good behaviour.

6 months is just a peanut and he will go and come back to do same thing. If someone steals plantain and is sentence for about 15yrs and this incidence the culprit is sentenced for 6months then there should be an appeal
The emotional trauma this child will go through only God knows and as a judge u look at this case and sentence him for just 6months only God will talk for this child
Six months is not punishment enough for this offense. Who knows how many innocent girls that have suffered it!
