Tarkwa, June 18 GNA - A Tarkwa circuit court has sentenced Francis Quist, 18-year-old welder, to 7 years imprisonment for defiling a 14-year-old girl at Tarkwa Naboso in the Western region.
He pleaded guilty.
Police Detective Chief Inspector Oscar Amponsah told the court presided over by Mr. Samuel Obeng Diawuo that victim lived with her grandmother at the Tarkwa police barracks while the convict resided at Tarkwa Naboso.
Chief Inspector Amponsah said that last month, complainant detected that the girl was pregnant but she (girl) denied it.
