Ms Queenie Akuffo, the lady charged for having unnatural carnal knowledge and indecent assault was on Wednesday March 29, 2017 acquitted and discharged by an Accra Circuit Court presided over by Mrs. Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku.

The 26 -year-old Queenie Akuffo was accused of sexually assaulting her co-tenant with a vibrator. Queenie allegedly committed the act at about 6pm on January 25, last year, at Ablekuma in Accra where both of them reside.

According to the prosecution, Queenie asked other witnesses around to leave the house and she locked her bedroom, but a 13-year-old witness went to peep through her (Queenie’s) window and saw her (Queenie) inserting the artificial male organ into the victim’s private part.

The victim’s brother, one Nana Sasu, reportedly saw the act and alerted her mother (the complainant).

They rushed to the aid of Janet and saw her lying naked in Queenie’s bedroom with vomit all over her body.

The artificial organ was found on top of Queenie’s wardrobe while a video recording of the act was also found on her Infinix mobile phone.

Queenie, in her caution statement to the police they claim, admitted the offence.

But the trial judge in delivering the judgement said the evidemce adduced before her through out the trial points to the fact that the two ladies sexual encounter was by consent and not by any ill intention on the part of Queenie Akuffo, the accused
