Police in Cape Coast are fuming at the behaviour of a Circuit Court Judge, His Lordship Justice Beresford Acquah, concerning his wrongful acquittal of a known British paedophile, Allen Donald on Monday.
Furious at the turn of events, a police source at the Central Regional Crime Office told The Chronicle on Tuesday that they have re-arrested Allen and put him in police custody pending another court trial.
According to the source, the police were now deciding in which court they would prosecute Allen, who is alleged to have defiled an eight-year old boy. The source said the Judge should not have, in the first place, granted bail to the suspect because he was charged with defilement, which does not warrant the granting of bail under the criminal laws of the country.
Again, the source said, the judge acquitted the suspect following submissions from defence counsel that the mother of the victim had decided that she was not interested in the case anymore.
The source stated that it was wrong for the judge to have acquitted him because it was the prosecution that the judge should have listened to but not the defendant and the mother. The source said, “In some cases, if the mother is even refusing to give evidence, she can be arrested and brought before court to give evidence.” The case has now become the Republic v Allen.
According to the source, Allen, 71, who is on record to have defiled some female minors in the UK, allegedly inserted a bottle into the anus of the eight-year-old boy to pave way for him to defile him. According to the source, after defiling the boy, he then asked him to lick the sperms that came out of the anus together with him. The source said the matter will be prosecuted and that the police will hold a press conference on the issue.
