A four-year-old girl has been allegedly defiled eight times by a 14-year-old boy identified as a Junior High School pupil in Suhum in the Eastern Region.

Reports suggest the four-year-old girl is suffering from serious reproductive health complicationsafter she was allegedly defiled 8 times by a 14-year-old.

According to the family of the four-year-old girl, the defilement began when the child was only three-and-a-half years old, with the alleged abuse happening in several parts of their compound house.

The news shared by GHOne TV stated, “A four-year-old girl is battling serious reproductive health complications after she was allegedly defiled eight times by a 14-year-old JHS pupil in Suhum, Eastern Region.

According to the victim’s family, the abuse began when the child was about three-and-a-half years old. However, the child’s complaints were reportedly not taken seriously until they became frequent, especially whenever her mother attempted to wash her…”

Further update by Starr FM detailed that “upon further questioning, the child mentioned the name of the suspect, a 14-year-old boy identified as Addo, who resides in the same compound house. When confronted, the suspect allegedly admitted to sexually abusing the child eight times”.

According to the report, the matter was subsequently reported to the police, who issued medical forms for examination.

A medical report from the Suhum Government Hospital, endorsed by Dr Nancy De-Graft Menz, read, “On pelvic examination, there were minor abrasions on the outer labia. The hymen was not intact, with the presence of foul-smelling whitish discharge on the vulva.

The perineum looked normal. There was also mild tenderness on the vulva. All other systemic examinations were normal.”

Following the medical findings, the 14-year-old boy suspect identified as Addo was arrested and interrogated, where he allegedly admitted to the offence.

Some Ghanaians on social media reacting to the shocking news stated, “As a health officer, I once saw a similar thing in the eastern region, where a 23-year-old defiled a 5-year-old, but parents refused to report to the police and wanted the issue resolved at home. That was 2010”.

“No one cares. They encourage you to speak when you have issues, but no one is ready to listen to you.

What kind of negligence will make you not take a three and a half years old girl seriously in a sensitive complaint like this?”, a netizen added.

Another Ghanaian added, “There is no punishment severe enough for those who do this. She has been robbed of her childhood. Our guardians should treat all allegations of sexual abuse and harassment as credible until proven otherwise. I pray justice is served. So help her God”.
