A 19-year-old Sunday School teacher, accused of alleged indecent assault of a primary three school pupil, has been remanded into prison custody by a Kumasi circuit court.
Samuel Opoku denied inserting his fingers into the vagina of the victim.
He would reappear before the court presided over by Mr. Justice Emmanuel Amo-Yartey on Wednesday, May 19.
Police Chief Inspector Rejoice Sumatu told the court that the victim lives with the grandmother at Esereso, a suburb of Kumasi, while the accused is a Sunday School music teacher of the Paradise Divine Church also at Esereso.
On April 21, the girl was sent by the grandmother to draw water from her school, where Opoku at the time was teaching a Sunday school class gospel music.
The prosecution said the accused invited the victim to another classroom, where he fondled her breast and inserted his right fore-finger into her vagina.
After the act, he warned her not to tell anyone about it or she would die.
The prosecution said the girl began to experience severe abdominal pains, went home weeping and told a cousin about her ordeal.
A formal report was made to Asokwa police who arrested him.
