A Military officer who is accused of defiling his 14-year-old daughter at South La in Accra has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.

Senior Warrant Officer Class 1, Anthony K. Kukubor, is being held on the charges of defilement and incest.

Kukubor is said to have defiled the victim at age 11 when she started menstruation. Police say, the accused from then, had had sex with the victim whenever he desired.

The accused person, 48, has denied the charges before the court presided over by Christina Cann.

The court has admitted Kukubor to bail in the sum of GHS100,000 with three sureties, two to be justified.

The prosecution was ordered to file their disclosures and serve the same on the accused person or his counsel.

The matter has been adjourned to January 31, 2023, for Case Management Conference.

The prosecution led by Inspector Opoku Aniagyei narrated that the complainant’s name withheld is a 40-year-old soldier in Accra.

The prosecution said the victim is the biological daughter of the accused person and they live together.

It said on April 17, 2019, victim at age 11 started her menstruation and it ended on April 24, 2019.

The prosecution said on April 26, 2019, it was the accused person’s birthday and the complainant together with the victim, and her brothers celebrated the day with friends and loved ones.

The prosecution said after the cleaning, the victim and her brothers and her stepsister together with the complainant went to sleep in their rooms at about 8:30 pm.

It said while the victim was sleeping, Kukubor entered the room and woke her up. The accused sent the victim to a corridor that leads to their hall and engaged her in a conversation.

The prosecution told the court that, Kukubor told her daughter that since she has now grown up and that day was his birthday, he would like to have sexual intercourse with her as it was a norm for men to have sexual intercourse with daughters to show their love and appreciation.

According to the prosecution, after the conversation, the accused person held that victim by the hand and sent her to the hall where he had already laid a mat and had sex with her.
