A Circuit Court in Cape Coast has sentenced 27-year-old Eric Asamoah to 16 years in prison for defiling a teenage girl at Mankessim.
The case was heard on November 6, 2025, before Her Honour Nana Aba Quaiba Nunoo at Circuit Court Two.
Asamoah admitted to committing the offence, which occurred on November 2, 2025, and pleaded guilty when the charge of defilement was read to him.
The court convicted him on his own plea and handed him a 16-year prison term with hard labour. He has since been transferred to the Ankaful Prison to begin his sentence.
