A senior high school teacher who raped a student at Prestea and blamed it on the devil and his uncontrollable libido has been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to the offence.
The convict, Eric Amankwah Marfo, told the Tarkwa Circuit Court that he had lured the victim into the room to discuss sex and that he had increased the volume of his sound system before raping her.
Marfo, who is a Home Economics teacher at the Prestea Senior High/Technical School, said while the music was playing, his neighbours thought he was celebrating the birth of his child while, in actual fact, he was having an affair with the student.
Passing judgement, the presiding judge, Mr Samuel Obeng Diawuo, deplored the conduct of the convict and said he had messed up his career.
The prosecution’s case was that the convict, who is married, sent for the student (name withheld) last Saturday and asked her to buy oranges for him.
On her return, the convict invited her to his room and engaged her in a discussion on sex before he forcibly had sex with her.
The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Edward Padi, said after going through the ordeal, the victim reported the case to her prefect and subsequently followed it up with a phone call to her parents, who reported Marfo to the police.
