The third accused who is 13-years-old has been asked to stay at the University of Cape Coast Juvenile cells to await processing for his sentence within a month by the Sekondi juvenile court.
The three accused persons were charged on four counts, conspiracy to commit the crime of abduction, abduction of a child below 18 years, conspiracy to commit the crime of defilement and defilement of a child below 18 years.

After the charges were read to the two accused Francis Obeng, 19, and mobile phone repairer and George Anan, 20, and a carpenter's apprentice pleaded not guilty to all charges while the 13-year-old pleaded guilty to all four charges.
