Headteacher absconds as he attempted to rape married subordinate

Mpamase (B/A), July 16, GNA- Mr. Paul Anim, headteacher of the Local Authority Primary School at Mpamase in Asunafo District of Brong Ahafo is alleged to have attempted to rape a married female subordinate on a farm.

The teacher, (name withheld) has reported the headteacher's behaviour to the District Directorate of Education.

Narrating her ordeal to Ghana News Agency, the victim, who was accompanied by the husband, said Mr. Anim had been harassing her for her love but she had refused because she was married.

She said whilst on her farm on July 3, this year, Mr. Anim appeared there and started fondling her but she resisted.

Mr. Anim then became more aggressive and this resulted in a fierce struggle that attracted a neighbour who rescued her.

She said the headteacher then pleaded with them to let the matter rest there since he could not succeed to have her. Meanwhile, Mr Anim has absconded.
