She held my penis and l also bit her finger.”The court, presided over by Mrs Rita Abrokwa Doko, gave the sentence while taking into consideration the fact that Asare-Sakyi did not waste the court’s time, he is not known and he also pleaded for leniency to go and take care of the pregnancy.Prosecuting, Sergeant Opoku Aniagyei said the complainant “lives in the same vicinity with Asare-Sayi at Tse-Addo, a suburb of Accra.”He said the complainant had been in a relationship with Asare-Sakyi for some weeks now and she detected she was pregnant and decided to inform him about it.He said at about 9 p.m. on March 10, 2019, Asare-Sakyi invited the complainant to his house for a discussion over the pregnancy.During the discussion, the prosecution said a disagreement ensued, and Asare-Sakyi became offended, attacked the complainant and beat her up mercilessly to the extent of biting her forefinger.In the course of that, he said the complainant screamed aloud and people came to her rescue.She later reported to the police and Asare-Sakyi was arrested.
