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.
At long last, the 19 year old girl, Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson, who caused the arrest of communication and media expert, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah popularly known as KKD on 27th December, 2014 – following a rape complaint against him, has come out to state that she is no longer interested in pursuing the case. However, the case is not over yet – it’s still in court.
From whichever angle you chose to look at the case or analyze it, was your prerogative right! In every situation, there is cause and effect. In this case, the cause was that KKD met the lady at an event and had seks with her in the hotel’s washroom – which later turned into a rape allegation.
So now, let’s look at the effect – and I mean the long term effect the whole rape story would have on Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson and Kwasi Kyei Darkwah. Which of them is at a big disadvantage in life in the long run?
One school of thought that speaks for KKD claims KKD has finished paying his dues in life and in his chosen field – media, communication, tourism, art, marketing, and branding, therefore, he is like a brand that has reached its peak and thus has to decline so he has nothing great to lose!
He can boast of a house both in Ghana and abroad, fleets of cars, all the nicest costumes and perfumes, and has two grownup children who are all doing well in the field of communication. As far as the rape case is concerned, it doesn’t seem like he will be convicted—except that there is a hovering speculation of out of court settlement.
Due to that, some giant companies or clients of his may still work with him or contract him for what he knows best doing.
Another school of thought who speak for the Ewuraffe might also posit that Ghanaians generally have short memories – give this story a month and majority will forget there was even a rape case involving one Ewuraffe and KKD.
Also, Ewuraffe is not a popular girl so most people may not recognize her if she is walking on the streets of Accra or enters any office to do business or seek any corporate help. Nonetheless, as long as the World Wide Web exists, if you Google anything concerning Kwasi Kyei Darkwah aka KKD or Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson in the next 50 years, their rape case will pop up.
In almost all the advanced countries in the world, a staggering 90-95% of rape cases are not reported per countless studies—-due to how victims are treated by society once they come out and Ghana is even worse.
It’s therefore not shocking that the young 19 year old girl- Miss Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson who reported Ghanaian radio personality-Kwesi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) for allegedly raping her has expressed her dis-interest in the case, citing the way she has and continues to be treated by society as the reason.
Society has made her life hell since she told the police about what KKD is alleged to have done to her. According to Miss Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson, since the incident, she cannot even step out of her house without people throwing all manner of insults at her or pointing fingers her way…
According to reports, a two page letter dated January 12 from Miss Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson which she addressed to the Director of Public Prosecutions at the Attorney-General’s Department and copied into it the Chief Justice, the Registrar of the High Court and others, stated the public and media attacks on her person as her reasons for not being interested.
She called these attacks on her person insensitive—adding that, since her report, her life has become torture clothed in harsh gossip and insults by people.
She is reported to have stated in the letter that, she is currently receiving counselling from her church, certain elders and she wants to put this behind her to move on with her life—as she hopes God will heal her.
When Miss Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson alleged that KKD had raped her, about 10 different people came out claiming to have in the past also been sexually assaulted or raped by KKD—but they all cited their fear of societal backlash as the reason why they couldn’t even tell anyone let alone the police about these sexual assaults.
