Pastor and teacher in police grips for impregnating 13 year-old
A pastor and a teacher have been arrested by the police for allegedly defiling and impregnating a 13-year-old Junior High School pupil.
The suspects, Pastor David Michel of Fertile Soil Church at Tantra Hill and Emmanuel Boateng, a Mathematics and Science teacher, are currently in the grips of the Adabraka Police assisting in investigations.
According to the Daily Guide news paper, the suspects did not know each other until they were hauled to the police station to face the charges of defilement in addition to causing abortion.
The newspaper reports that, the Pastor David Michel, senior pastor of the church where the victim and her mother fellowshipped while suspect Emmanuel Boating, a class teacher of the victim, had been having affairs with the victim for some time now until she got pregnant.
The victim, upon realizing that she was pregnant, first contacted the senior pastor about it, who in turn gave the victim an amount of GH¢200 with the promise that he would take her to Nigeria for an abortion.
An arrangement for the journey was made between the victim and the suspect and a month ago, when the victim realized that the mother was away, she took some of her belongings and left for Nigeria without any notice.
Further, the Daily Guide newspaper reports that the victim’s mother, upon realizing that the daughter was missing, reported the matter to the police.
On Wednesday, November 2, 2011, someone spotted the victim at Circle and handed her over to the Adabraka Police, whom upon interrogation confessed that she travelled to Nigeria for an abortion.
The victim continued that the two suspects had sex with her several times before she got pregnant. The pastor, she said, had sex with her after church service while the class teacher took her to a hotel at Tabora.
The victim confessed that the pastor handed her over to his sisters in Nigeria who ensured that the abortion was done.
The two suspects were however arrested on Wednesday evening around 9pm at Tantra Hill and Tabora. Upon interrogation, the pastor confessed to the act but Emmanuel Boateng stated that he only fingered the victim but never had sex with her. Meanwhile, a police medical form has been issued to the victim for medical attention.
