A Cape Coast circuit court has remanded a 54-year-old driver into police custody for allegedly defiling an l0-year-old daughter of his girlfriend at Mankessim near Cape Coast.
The accused, Roland Josiah, pleaded not guilty to the offence and is to appear again on Tuesday July 24.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Sarfo Khanin told the court presided over by Mr. Asare Nyarko that the complainant, Madam Evelyn Quansah, a petty trader, lived with her daughter and the accused in a compound house at Mankessim.
He said on July 5 this year, the complainant returned from church at about 8:30pm to find her daughter crying in the room and when she was questioned, she said it was Josiah who had defiled her.
Chief Inspector Sarfo said Madam Quansah then called her brother who also lived in the same compound to come and witness what had happened.
He said they then invited Josiah to come and provide answers to the allegations which he denied Madam Quansah, therefore, reported the matter to the police.
He said police investigations revealed that the bedsheet on Madam Quansah's bed was covered with stains of semen and Josiah was subsequently arrested.
