The prosecution alleged that the accused sometime in 2024 at a village within the West Coast Region, intentionally under a coercive circumstance engaged in a sexual act to wit: raping a 13-year-old girl, thereby committed an offence.
When the charge sheet was read to him in the language he claimed to have understood, he pleaded guilty.
At that juncture, the prosecution applied for a short adjournment and ordered the accused be remanded at the State Central Prison, Mile 11. This was granted by the presiding Magistrate and the case was then adjourned to 17th April for sentencing and reading of facts by the prosecution.
DSP Buteh Sawaneh represented the Inspector General of Police at the trial.
