A 15-year-old class three girl is carrying a six-month pregnancy she blames on both the husband and son of her maternal aunt. The pregnant minor told the Daily Guide that she lost her mother at a very tender age and was staying with her aunt at Anomabo in the Central Region where the aunt's husband and l8-year-old son forcefully subjected her to several agonizing sexual bouts that were interlaced with slaps and beatings. So severe was the ordeal that the continuing nature of it compelled the girl to leave home, and not having anywhere to go, she started sleeping at the beach. She said when she told her aunt that Daddy covered her face with a pillow and forcefully had sex with her, she asked her to keep quiet and warned her not to tell any other person. But by then, she had already told a friend, Menaaba, because Menaaba had heard her friend screaming for help and when she asked to know what was happening, the victim told her that Daddy was having sex with her in his room. Menaaba reported what she heard to the aunt who got very angry with the victim for telling another person. Meanwhile, her husband kept demanding more sex; he would go into the girl’s room at night to ask for sex. When the aunt's son, Ato, returned from Kumasi, he also did the same thing to her and when she again told the aunt, she got angry and warned her to keep quiet. So it got to a time she did not know what to do, according to Rebecca who narrated her ordeal to the Daily Guide at Bubuashie, a suburb of Accra where she now resides with a foster family. The 15-year old said between father and son she was not certain who actually impregnated her as the two did not use any condoms. She said apart from the two, no other person had had sex with her. When asked to explain the circumstances under which the incidents happened, she said her virginity was broken by her aunt's husband who she referred to as "Da" meaning father, and that the man one day called her into his bedroom to run an errand for him. Suddenly he locked the door, stuffed her face with a pillow, nearly suffocating her in the process, and forcefully had sex with her. Since then, he had always demanded more sex. Rebecca said the aunt's son, Ato, on his part, after violently pulling her into the same room in which his father had raped her, did not cover her face with a pillow, but dished out several hefty slaps, beat her up to weaken her resistance and had bouts of sex with her. She said at another time, Ato entered her room with an excuse that he had been asked to search her body to see if she was keeping any stolen money and though she resisted, he forcefully started the search during which he fondled her, pinned her down and forcefully had sex with her, as she shouted for help which never came. Rebecca said both father and son kept pestering her for more sex while her aunt warned her to keep the ordeal to herself, and when she refused, the aunt became hostile to her even to the extent of seizing her school uniform. She thus had to stop school and finally decided to escape from the house. She was brought to Accra by a Good Samaritan who gave her out as a house help to a foster family and it was during her stay in Accra that the symptoms of pregnancy started to show. The new family took her to the hospital for a pregnancy test which proved positive and upon interrogation, Rebecca narrated her ordeal. The victim said she had never experienced menstruation before the sex bouts with her relatives, and never knew she was carrying a baby until the doctors made her aware of her situation at the hospital. Her foster parents told Daily Guide that they had informed Rebecca's relatives of the development but they had not shown any concern, and failed to honour their promises to come over to Accra to visit the girl and consider what options were available to them. The foster father described the victim of defilement, incest and assault as an exceptionally obedient child who was equally hard working. Her case was yet to be reported to the Police.
