  "account": "Two security guards from Bolgatanga Girls Senior High School in the Upper East Region of Ghana have been arrested by the Ghana Police Service for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old autistic student, according to reports from Media Without Borders. The suspects, Adams Nyaaba Iddrisu, 72, and Elvis Adongo, 38, were apprehended on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, following the initial story breaking.\n\nThe alleged abuse took place multiple times on school grounds. The first incident reportedly occurred in the last week of June 2026 at the school's dining hall, where the girl was allegedly lured to an isolated area behind the dining hall by one of the guards with a promise of food. The same guard allegedly abused her a second time in early July. The second guard allegedly abused the girl at dawn inside the security post at the main gate, after she went there to pick up her tablet to charge overnight.\n\nThe girl, who has moderate autism, was returning to her dormitory after supervised evening studies when the first abuse allegedly occurred. The headmistress confirmed the allegations and stated that the situation has been reported to the Municipal and Regional Education Directorates and the police. A family member also confirmed the incident but accused the school of unfair treatment, emphasizing the importance of the student staying in school for her growth.",
