Prosecution said at about 1900 hours, the complainant called Ayivor on his cell phone and informed him that her son had been admitted at the hospital and that he should give the victim GHS5 to purchase food and Ayivor obliged.
DSP Boafo said after the victim had finished eating, Ayivor informed her (the victim) that the complainant had told him to allow her sleep in his room.
Prosecution said while the victim was sleeping in his room, Ayivor had sex with her after covering her mouth with a pillow.

On September 15, 2019, when the complainant returned home, she saw the victim crying and when she questioned her, she narrated her ordeal to the complainant.
A report was made to the Police at Dansoman and a medical form was issued to the complainant to seek treatment for the victim. Ayivor was later picked up by the Police.
