Tarkwa Circuit Court jails Samuel Implame, a taxi driver, for defiling a 10 year old girl in his cab. He is to stay in prison for 10-year with hard labour.
The 20-year-old driver, Samuel Implame, pleaded guilt to the defilement charge, resulting in his conviction.
Police Chief Inspector Joseph Lartey, who led the prosecution, furnished the public with case’s details. The victim is a food vendor.
On August 22, 2023 around 9:00 PM, the victim entered Implame’s Toyota Corolla taxi at Number Three, a Prestea suburb, intending to travel to Nankaba, where she and her mother live. Instead, Implame deviated from the route.
As the victim sensed danger, she cried for help. In response, the convict rolled the car’s tinted windows to stifle her cry.
Around 11:30 PM, Implame took the victim to a secluded area at Enyinam. There, he forcibly removed her underwear and sexually assaulted her in the car.
Afterwards, he drove the victim to a location near the Ankobra bungalows. There he subjected her to another sexual assault in the cab.
Having finished, Implame took the victim to her destination around 1:00 AM on August 28, before going into hiding.
The victim, in tears, told her mother what had happened upon arriving home. Her mother quickly sent the issue to the Prestea police station. The police arranged for the victim’s medical examination.
A medical officer at the Prestea Government Hospital confirmed the assault. Implame was arrested by the police. In the course of questioning, the driver said that the victim consented to having in sexual activity with him. The abandoned taxi was located by the roadside in Modern City, Prestea, and was seized by the police.
