The Twifo Hemang District Court has sentenced a 50-year-old man, Eric Adu Amisah, to six years imprisonment for sexually assaulting seven minor girls at Twifo Hemang, in the Hemang Lower Denkyira District.
The victims, all under the age of seven, were pupils of a cultural dance school operated by the convict.
According to police investigations, the convict exploited his position as a cultural dance instructor to abuse the trust of his young students.
The convict allegedly used manipulative tactics, including applying a lubricant on his penis and fingers to facilitate his act.
The convict, Eric Adu Amissah, according to the prosecutor, jumped bail for six months after being granted bail during the initial stage of the investigation.
However, through the vigorous efforts of the Central North Regional Police Cyber Unit, the convict was located and arrested in Adenta, Greater Accra Region.
Police prosecution said on March 5, 2025, the accused was arraigned before the Twifo Hemang District Magistrate Court to face seven counts of indecent assault.
The accused thus pleaded guilty to all counts simplicita and was convicted and sentenced accordingly.
