87 Year Old Man Rapes 79 Year Old Bed Ridden Woman in Ghana | Case Adjourned To July 7

This 87 year old man must have some hard balls—at this age, he should have given up on sex and should not even engage in it, let alone to rape an old woman.

According to Ghana News Agency, “an Accra High Court on Thursday adjourned to July 6, the case of an eighty-seven year old man who is accused of raping a 79-year-old bed ridden woman (name withheld) at Aburi in the Eastern Region.”

The report adds that, the accused-“Kofi Aduobi, unemployed, filed a motion for bail pending trial, saying his continuous incarceration was having serious implication on his health, as he kept visiting the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital.”

As to the rape, the Police say “the victim had been bedridden for some time now, and that, on May 23, this year, at about 1400 hours, the complainants returned from town and entered the victim’s room only to see Adoubi busily having sex with the victim.

The complainants assaulted the suspect and handed him over to the Police. The suspect stated that, he started dating the victim since 1996 and had been having regular sex with the victim.

According to the Police, Adoubi has indicated that he has witnesses, who would attest to that, adding that, his sexual encounter with the victim was consensual.”

Apart from Kofi Aduobi’s request for bail on health grounds, the problem is that, the victim has never spoken since the incident—in fact the court wanted to know if the action of Aduobi was responsible for the victim’s state.

This old man says he has been dating the victim since 1999—perhaps, it is true… But the question is; how do you even date a bed ridden woman?
