We have written countless articles and reports on the KKD alleged rape case—and if you missed any of the developments, it can really be difficult trying to catch up.
For those who have been asking some basic questions and still have doubts as to what really happened between Kwesi Kyei Darkwah and the 19 year old girl, DailyGuide has taken time to put the developments together based on the bill of indictment being used for KKD’s prosecution…
It’s a long read but it surely answers some of the basic questions and points to the fact that, KKD seems to have really been up to something. We cannot say for a fact that he did rape Ms Ewuraffe Orleans-Thompson but you can decide for yourself after reading the below account.
According to the Newspaper, this is part 1 so we should expect the second part…

“It has emerged that embattled showbiz icon Kwasi Kyei Darkwah aka KKD had unprotected sex with Ewuraffe Orleans-Thompson, the lady accusing him of rape.
As a result, he allegedly assured Ms Orleans-Thompson that he would give her Postinor 2, an emergency contraceptive pill, after the unprotected sex.
The 19-year-old student, who was finding it difficult to extricate herself from the grips of the showbiz icon at the time of the alleged incident, deceptively asked KKD if he was having condom and he answered in the negative.
According to the medical report authored by Dr M. S. Akabua of the Police Hospital, the victim was previously not sexually active and that there were “…abrasions on both labia minora and majora, hyperemic redness at the external urethral opening and posterior part of the vaginal opening, Hymen torn at multiple places with pin point bleeding areas and the presence of spermatozoa.”
The cousin of the victim had told Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) when she heard her screams that the victim was a virgin, and the medical report appears to have confirmed it.
The narration also made nonsense of the consensual sex argument advanced by KKD, who said they had agreed to have sex.
This was contained in the Bill of Indictment read on behalf of Cynthia Lamptey, the Acting Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) by state prosecutor, Malike Woanya, last Wednesday when the state was committing KKD for trial at the High Court for rape.
Blow by blow
Narrating the series of events leading to the alleged rape incident at the African Regent Hotel at the Airport West Residential Area in Accra, during the committal proceedings in the court presided over by Magistrate Adwoa Ofosu Akyamaa, Ms Woanya said on December 27, 2014 the victim accompanied her cousin, Abena Konadu Owusu-Akyaw, to a fashion show dubbed, “Rip The Runway Fashion Show”, at the African Regent Hotel.
When they arrived at the hotel, they met one Kofi Kyei, Abena Konadu’s brother, one of the organisers of the event, and since the show had not started, they decided to stroll around.
On their way out at the drop-off area they met KKD, who said, “Wow, what beautiful tall girls. You are ‘glamazons'” among other remarks.
Together, they walked to the hotel lobby where KKD introduced them to his cousin Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) and Benny Blanco, and told them they were his new friends.
Ms Woanya stated that after the exchange of pleasantries, KKD told the victim and her cousin that he would make them the faces of the Ghana Tourism Campaign after which a publicist, by name Ameyaw Debrah, and KKD took photographs of them.
The accused and Effe, together with Abena, Benny Blanco and KOD, later took a lift to a suite in the hotel.
The prosecution said in the living room, the victim and her cousin were offered drinks but they refused, and KKD then went to the washroom, came out, and invited Effe in to help him with his make-up.
Tight hold
According to the copy of Bill of Indictment in the possession of Daily Guide, “as soon as she entered the bathroom, the accused locked the door and pulled her by the hand, held her really close and started caressing her.
“She was alarmed and pulled away, but the accused got aggressive, turned her round and bent her over the wash-hand basin and tried penetrating her from behind.”
It further stated that the complainant resisted, screamed and begged KKD, who had removed his pants, to leave her alone, adding that “she cried and begged the accused to let her go as she was a virgin and had not done anything like that before”.
The Bill of Indictment however stated that KKD’s overwhelming body weight on Ms Orleans-Thompson made it difficult for her to free her hands and push him away.
Raw s*x
It said “since the accused refused to let her go, in trying to deter him, she asked if he (KKD) had a condom but he said he did not have a condom…she tried outwitting the accused by saying she would come over another time in order for him to let her go, but the accused did not budge.”
The prosecution indicated that KKD opened the complainant’s legs, pulled her panties down and finally succeeded in penetrating her. After having sex with her against her will, she was bleeding and KKD handed her tissue paper to wipe up and told her to sit on the water closet and allow the blood to flow.
“The accused gave her more tissue to pad up as he washed his penis (and) promised to give her Postinor 2 to avoid pregnancy,” the document stated.
Postinor 2
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Postinor 2 however does not prevent a woman from catching sexually transmitted diseases.
The Bill of Indictment further revealed that shortly after, someone knocked on the door and KKD responded and asked the complainant to be quick, insisting that “she tidied up and flushed the blood and stained tissue papers in the water closet and they went out.”
According to the prosecution, when they came out, Effe informed Abena that KKD had raped her and while crying, narrated everything that had happened.
A few questions that still remain: Why? Why would a girl her age go about, kissing a man his age? And what of all things made her think it was a good idea to follow him to his hotel room and then into the bathroom?
Girls are simply minded and gullible. They can easily be deceived by an influential person like KKD.
Thank goodness I am not one of those girls. Although, I’m the same age as her, I care more about my freedom, graduating university and exploring the world, rather than chasing men who are old enough to be my father.
It’s rather sad when you think about it. How easy an affluent person can get someone.
Did you read the story??? please if you think your thought process is advanced, not everyone is. Obviously, she didnt think anything of that sort was going to happen in the bathroom with a room filled with people. The story above is a very sad one and the girl must be going through a lot. lets all empathise with Effe and stop this backlash. KKD is an evil person, period!!!!!! How can you do such a cruel thing with a girl who told you it was her first time!! AAAHHHHHH, hmmmmmm i pray the rule of law works and he is put behind bars for good as well as KOD. shameless people
Thank you. I don’t understand why Lyn is putting all the blame on the poor girl.
I beg your pardon, I did in fact read the article. And I do agree with you that what KKD did was very vile and absolutely wrong but she should have questioned her surroundings. And like you, I hope that he is in fact convicted and locked up.
One of my friends was in a similar situation and she immediately bolted.
But this is why I stated the previous comment:
“The accused and Effe, together with Abena, Benny Blanco and KOD, later took a lift to a suite in the hotel.
The prosecution said in the living room, the victim and her cousin were offered drinks but they refused, and KKD then went to the washroom, came out, and invited Effe in to help him with his make-up.”
So what if he is an affluent person? They just met the person and some people that he knows. Why would she and her cousin think it is a good idea to accompany them to their suite?
It’s probably because I was raised to ask questions rather than going with the flow of things, that’s why.
Pt, I agree with you. Am sure Lyn did not read the full story and I guess she is an Angel. We just have to pray that the rule of law works. After reading this story iv realised it was an evil and cruel thing KKD did to the girl and he must face the law. Some of these so called Ghanaian celebrities think they are above the law. May God have mercy on their poor souls!!
Gud for u but she didn’t go chasing men. Read the story again madam
I did read the article.
You’re only 19 right? no wonder you quick to judge on this article. Well since you working hard towards your future, would suggest you work harder by not spending time in here. Start getting busy little girl.
Lol….
How am I quick to judge?
I read the articles of the incident when it was first presented last year and did not form any solid conclusions because I was waiting to hear the whole story first. But I have not come to a solid conclusion but rising up these questions is judging?
Wow if that is so, then I guess I don’t know anything since some of the commentators are trying to make it seem like I did not pay attention at all.
It’s common sense to question the situation you’re about to place yourself in and the possible outcomes. I was brought up to question my surroundings and situations and the possible consequences that I might face.
So trying to see what goes on in my country is something wrong? I’m just stating the questions that some people would possibly ask.
She shouldn’t have gone to the room….with “strangers” no matter how influential….but she did….we all make silly mistakes every now and then ….which in her case proved costly….just because she entered his room doesn’t mean she agreed to have s*x with him.
I like that Kristina. This Lyn girl needs to get busy with her books. She has no business here since she claims she’s working hard towards her future.
So trying to know what goes on in my country is apparently wrong now?
And how do I have no business being here?
you r right!
Am really praying that KKD is found guilty of this case.
let us pray together… because if he is guilty, he should be punished accordingly
But she should have thought it through. I know that she probably didn’t agree to have s** with him.
But anyways, I hope he gets prosecuted and jailed.
