A trader, who fingered a six-year-old girl, was on Friday sentenced to eight months imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court after he was found guilty on indecent assault.Although, the trader, Yakubu Mahama, was charged with defilement, the court, presided over by Justice Georgina Mensah-Datsa, held that the evidence did not prove defilement, but rather indecent assault.According to the prosecution, the victim's (name withheld) grandmother, was said to have administered some drugs to the victim and made her to sit on hot water when she detected some changes in the victims "private part".The situation is said to have made it impossible for medical doctors who examined the victim to detect that she was defiled, although they were able to establish there had been a penetration of her vagina.Yakubu had told the court in his defence that the victim's grand¬mother was trying to frame him up because of a personal score between them, indicating that the victim was being coached by her grandmother to tell lies about him.But the court, held that due to the drugs administered to the victim by her grandmother a medical examination conducted could not prove whether she was really defiled and, thus, found him not guilty of defilement.The case as presented to the court by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sarah Ekua Acquah was that the victim lives with her grandmother at Galloway in Accra where the accused also resides.She said in August 2011, the victim's grandmother detected 'some changes in her private parts and questioned her about it, but she could not tell her anything tangible so the grandmother went ahead to administer some drugs with the view of treating her.ASP Acquah said on November 1, 2011, however, the victim upon her return from school told her grandmother that Mahama gave her bread, fingered and had sex with her, but she was afraid to reveal the truth when questioned by her grandmother.
