Two teachers of the Asankrangwa SHS Teachers were caged for raping and sexually assaulting two SHS 1 students of the school.

The Asankrangwa District Magistrate court has remanded the two teachers into police custody for  the alleged raping and assaulting two first-year students.

Suspect Ernest Donkor was charged with rape, contrary to section 97 of the Criminal Offences Act (29/60) while suspect Augustine Swanzy Oduro was also charged with indecent assault, contrary to section 203 of the Criminal Offences Act (29/60).

Reading the brief fact to the court presided over by His Worship Justice Augustine Fiifi Donful, ASP J. A. Kwarkye, said Ernest Donkor, 28, is a Physics teacher and Augustine Swanzy Oduro, 34, a History teacher all at Asankrangwa Senior High School.

The victims, 15 and 16 years (names withheld) are all first-year students at the same school.

The complainant, Daniel Quayson Junior according to the prosecutor is the Assistant Headmaster of Asankrangwa Senior High School.

Sources revealed On the 14th of July 2022, during the Amenfi West Municipal Inter-School competition held at the Asankrangwa Senior High School, the two suspects took the victims out of the school premises and bought new dresses for them to wear to take them out to celebrate one of the victim’s birthday.

About 2 pm on the same day, the suspects took the victims to a hotel at Wassa Dunkwa near Asankrangwa.

“The two suspects bought Malta Guinness drink for the victims. The suspects allegedly took the victims into separate rooms of the hotel in the quest to have a conversation with them” according to the prosecutor.

However, the 16-year-old victim in the course of the conversation excused herself to visit the washroom and left her Malta Guinness drink with Ernest Donkor in the room.

The prosecutor stated “The victim returned from the washroom and after drinking the Malta Guinness drink, fell dizzy and went blackout. She regained her consciousness later and found herself on the bed naked with blood stains in between her thighs”.

Meanwhile, the other suspect, Augustine Swanzy Oduro while in the room made sexual body contact with the 15-year-old victim by fondling her breasts and touching her buttocks.

The victim managed to run out of the room and later the two suspects brought the victims back to the school campus.

On their way to the campus, suspect Ernest Donkor promised to buy iPhone 7plus, pizza and food for the 16-year-old victim and warned them not to tell anyone about what happened at the hotel.

The victims on the same day in the evening reported the incident to the Assistant Headmaster, who later made the complainant to the police.

On the 15th of July 2022, the complainant with the victims and assistance from police arrested the suspects and took them to the Asankrangwa police station and lodged a complaint.
