A 42-year-old man who is alleged to have raped a woman after offering her a drink that rendered her unconscious at Agogo in the Asante-Akim North District has been remanded by the Juaso circuit court. Oti Boateng whose plea was not taken will re-appear on February 19. Police Chief Inspector Joseph Damanka told the court that Boateng was a hospital orderly at the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital and also operated a drinking bar close to the hospital. On December 29 last year the complainant went to the hospital to visit a sick friend and asked for a Christmas gift from Boateng whom she was acquainted with. Chief Inspector Damanka said the accused invited the complainant to his bar where he offered her a bottle of coca-cola. Moments after taking the drink, the complainant lost consciousness and regained it hours later but found that she was naked in Boateng's bed. The prosecution said Boateng's fiancée entered the room and upon seeing the complainant violently assaulted her until Boateng went to her rescue. The complainant reported the case to the Agogo police who issued her a medical form to attend hospital. Source: GNA
