The Nyinahin Magistrate's Court presided over by Mr Augustine Essah has sentenced a 23 year old farmer, Kwaku Wireko to 12 months imprisonment for assault.
Wireko was charged on his own plea.
Police Chief Inspector Napoleon Isaac Asherow told the court that the complainant, Madam Abena Amina and the accused lived at Akotaa near Nyinahin, in the Atwima Mponua District.
He said on October 24 this year, Amina was going to harvest some leaves in the bush to prepare her kenkey for sale the next day during which she saw the accused.
The prosecutor said the accused told Amina that he knew where she could get enough leaves for her business.
He further explained that Wireko asked Amina if she would allow him to accompany her, which she obliged.
Police Chief Inspector Asherow said while in the bush, Wireko demanded sex which Amina refused, adding that Amina struggled with him but Wireko finally overpowered her, striped her naked and inserted his finger into her private part.
He said the accused then tore Amina's clothes and left her in the bush.
Police Inspector Asherow noted that the complainant later reported the case to the police and the accused was arrested and charged with the offence after investigations.
