Enoch Amponsah, a 28-year-old teacher at Roy International School in Kpong-West Quarters, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison with hard labour for defiling an 8-year-old pupil in his class.
The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court in the Eastern Region handed down the sentence after Amponsah pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement.

After the classes, Amponsah sent the victim to his office to retrieve his laptop and then followed her, removing her panties and engaging in sexual intercourse with her.
He warned the victim not to tell anyone or face punishment.
The following day, Amponsah lured the victim to his house adjacent to the school and again had sexual intercourse with her on a mat.
He repeated the act on November 4, 2023, causing the victim pain that raised her mother’s suspicions.
