A 35-year-old mason, Charles Seddoh, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for repeatedly defiling his two daughters in Accra, Ghana. Seddoh was found guilty on five counts of defilement and incest by a Circuit Court presided over by Annette Sophia Essel. The victims, aged 18 and 15 at the time, will be referred to a psychologist for clinical therapy to help them deal with the trauma associated with the offences.
The court also directed the Police to arrange shelter for the victims. The prosecution claimed that Seddoh began sexually abusing his first daughter in 2018, when she was 14, and continued for about seven years. He allegedly began abusing the second daughter in 2021, when she was 11. The victims reported the matter to the Adenta DOVVSU on January 31, 2025, and Seddoh was arrested on February 4, 2025.
