The Proprietor of the Great Lamptey-Mills Institute, Enoch Lamptey-Mills, has been discharged from prosecution for alleged rape and forced marriage.
He was discharged following a withdrawal of the case against him by the Attorney-General's office.
His lawyer Bannerman Williams told Joy News Lamptey-Mills was released in court without any reasons from the A-G's office.
Myjoyonline checks at the A-G's office however reveal the advised withdrawal of the case follows claims by the alleged victim and principal witness in the case, Priscilla Adjei, that she was not raped but consented to sex with the accused.
Priscilla was thought to be under-age when she got pregnant, resulting in a child for who she says Lamptey-Mills is catering for.
On Monday she grew increasingly despondent over the re-arrest of her child's father, claiming the case had previously been dealt with in court and thought Lamptey-Mills was being harassed unnecessarily.
She repeated her claims on Joy FM's Super Morning Show Tuesday ahead of Lamptey-Mills' appearance in court.
"Technically the case is not dead yet since he was only admitted to bail but I have my doubts if the case will go on again when the principal witness denies that she suffered the crime," said our source at the A-G's Department.
