Asamoah Gyan does not get the Ghanaian media's continued fixation with rape and sodomy charges levelled against him months ago, considering the fact that the legal system has cleared him of all wrongdoing.

His lawyer, Kissi Agyabeng, on Tuesday morning held a press conference to address what the Gyan camp sees as the continuing negative media commentary of the player.

Following widely publicized allegations of rape - and then, later, sodomy - made by one Sarah Kwablah against him, the Black Stars captain has never publicly spoken on the matter.

And on Tuesday, he was not present at the Accra Sports Stadium, although his elder brother, Baffour, was.

Agyabeng spoke of Maurice Ampaw, who, as Kwablah's lawyer, has led a media war against the player. Agyabeng says Ampaw's continued use of word 'sodomizer' to describe his client was the "most ludicrous media tirade’ against someone in the history of Ghana."

Agyabeng could not also get why Gyan's manager Samuel Anim Addo, has come in for so much vitriol. As for the insults regularly directed at his own person, the lawyer referred to them as "an occupational hazard".

“The young woman lodged a complaint in June 2015 of rape under natural canal knowledge against Asamoah Gyan at the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service at the ministries, Accra.

“The docket was transferred to the headquarters of the criminal investigation department in Accra. Asamoah Gyan fully cooperated with the police during the investigation and the investigation has come to an end."

"At the end of the investigation the police forwarded the docket to the Attorney General for advice. And on Wednesday, 2 December 2015, we were called back to the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department, Accra and informed that after a careful study of the docket, the Attorney General has concluded that the rape and unnatural canal allegations made by Sarah Kwablah against Asamoah Gyan are totally baseless and that the docket should be closed."

“In plain language, Asamoah Gyan has been cleared of all of Sarah Kwablah’s allegations of rape and sodomy."

“Ordinarily, we would not have bothered to address the media. However lives are involved and reputations have been affected. Right must be put right and wrong must be put in it’s place.”

Gyan himself is out of the country, the media was told.
