A 18-year-old mechanic, Samuel Crabbe, who with five others, raped a 13-year-old girl at Korle Gonno, in Accra, has been jailed for seven years, by an Accra Circuit Court.
Crabbe, who was charged with conspiracy to commit crime and defilement, pleaded guilty.
The Court, presided over by Mrs. Christiana Cann, thus convicted Crabbe on his plea and sentenced him accordingly.
Meanwhile, the Police are on a man hunt for the five others - Lord, Kotey, Pascal, Nana and Bam.
The Court was told that three of the accused persons took turns and defiled the victim in the morning, while the other three committed the act in the afternoon.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Kofi Atimbire, said the complainant was the grandmother, while the victim and Crabbe resided at Korle Gonno, just as with the victim.
The prosecution said on February 14, this year, the complainant was informed that Crabbe and five others had had sexual intercourse with the victim in turns at Korle Gonno.
Chief Inspector Atimbire said the complainant on hearing this, quizzed the victim and she confirmed the incident.
The prosecution said through the effort of a policewoman, the complainant arrested Crabbe and escorted him to the Police Station at Mamprobi.
Chief Inspector Atimbire said Police medical form was issued to the complainant to send the victim to hospital for examination and treatment.
The prosecution said in Crabbe’s caution statement, he admitted the offence and mentioned Lord, Kotey, Pascal, Nana and Bam as his accomplices.
