34-Year-Old Headmaster rapes student seven times in his Office

A 34-year-old headmaster in Salvation Army Junior High School (JHS) in the Upper West Akim Municipality of the Eastern Region, Mr Adu Edward locked her female student of form three in his office and raped her in separate occasions of seven consecutive times," the victim has revealed in a video.

The headmaster who has allegedly raped his student has reportedly deserted the school, with an excuse that he is sick and attending to the medical treatment and that the school authorities were reportedly accused to have planned to cover up the sexual criminal act of Mr Adu Edward.

The incessant sexual intercourse, according to the 16-year-old girl (name withheld) was meted to her by the headmaster since last year May 2020.

The victim narrated that the headmaster started to have several sexual intercourses with her in his office before the wake of the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) disease which led to the closure of the school.

"Before the headmaster became sick and bedridden, he had sex with me and unfortunately one teacher of the school, Mr Gyau Enoch came to see him glaringly in the act in his office that day which saved my life," she disclosed in the video.

"The headmaster at first attempted to exhibit his sexual criminal act, he invited me to his office and kissed my mouth and l told him that l do not want to have sex with him, So when l came out from his office l informed my school mate about the act by the teacher.

"Following this development, my friend told me that l should report the act of the teacher to my mother but l was afraid that she would shout at me. So l did not do so," the victim narrated in the video.

Interestingly the family members of the victim were said to have reported the case to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service for the arrest of the headmaster.

But the authorities of the school were accused of attempting to cover up the act of the headmaster.

When contacted via telephone conversation by soireenews, the headmaster confirmed that he was sick and bedridden.

Mr Adu Edward told Soireenews that he didn't have the administrative capacity to comment on the matter since the case has been handled by the authorities of the school.

"Please (referring to the reporter) l am working for people l know what you want to ask me, what l want to know is that l heard of rumours that is why l told you to speak with my authorities over the issue. I beg you, when l cure my sickness l can respond to your call."

All efforts to get the authorities of the school to respond to the issue proved futile.
