The court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku convicted Tetteh to six months jail term on each count. Sentences were to run consecutively.

Tetteh told the court that the two minors 'forced' him to insert his fingers into their vagina.

Prosecution said Tetteh, who is a book binder, usually comes to the victims' house in the evenings and they watch movies on his mobile phone.
