The husband of a police officer has been arrested for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old house help at Madina in Accra.

Alex Akrofi has been living alone with the girl for a year after his wife – who brought the class four pupil to the house to assist them in taking care of their two children – travelled out of the country.

The girl alleges that the man impregnated her and terminated the pregnancy.

The victim says the police officer forced himself on her on many occasions in her room, a situation that has left her with stomach complications.

“He slept with me in my room; he came in and started forcing me. When this happens I feel pain in my head and stomach”, she said.

Checks at the victim’s school indicate that she has on several occasions reported the case to her teachers including the fact that she had been impregnated.

When teachers at the school reported the issue to the Girl Child Education Department, the victim was told not washdown but rush to the nearest police station and report because that is the only time there can be enough evidence against the man.

The victim was also told to wear tight clothes when going to bed to prevent the man from gaining easy access to her, but this obviously did not deter the man from abusing her.

The victim told Joy News’ Joseph Opoku Gapko that she was compelled by Akrofi to swallow and insert pills into her vagina in order to terminate the pregnancy.

“My father gave me some medicine and asked me to drink one and insert the other two into my vagina”, she said.

The victim has been sent to a shelter for safety and police have begun investigations into the issue.
