The 9-year-old girl who was gruesomely defiled by a man in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem District in the Central Region has had her life devastated the more after doctors report confirmed she’s been rendered incapable of conceiving and giving birth.

This follows destruction to her reproductive system during the painful sexual intercourse which took place few months ago. The victim was left to die after the act with her intestines surging and her vulva also swelling.

The little girl who’s not able to stand upright has had her movement hampered following the unfortunate incident and has left her unable to attend school. She walks only with the support of others.

Local Journalist, Kwame Asare who has followed the case told Kasapa News that the victim is in a difficult situation as her frail grandmother who’s taking care of her lacks the funds to purchase drugs for her treatment.

“We’re appealing to the Chief Justice, Gender Minister to take interest in this case so that we seek justice for this poor girl. The suspect if found guilty must be ruthlessly dealt with according to the law because this little girl has been maimed and her future appears to have been ruined by the suspect,” Asare said.

According to the journalist, the 19 year old suspect who’s a fisherman is yet to pay the victim a visit barely four months after his criminal and dastardly act.

He was arrested but granted bail after he appeared in court Tuesday, October 31, 2017. He’s expected to reappear in court on 16th November, for the hearing of the case to proceed.
