A 23-year-old barber, Kwame Amponsah, has been sentenced to 114 years imprisonment for sodomising 12 pupils in a basic school at Jejeti Atewase in the Kwahu West municipality of the Eastern Region.
According to reports, the 23-year-old barber sends them on errands in his bedroom, where he gets access to them.
Some of his victims are given GH¢1 or GH¢2 after the ordeal.
He is known to provide free hair cuts for several pupils in the community as well.
The Social Welfare and Community Development investigations indicated that some pupils reported being threatened after the act.
On Monday, November 15, the barber was sentenced to prison for 114 years by His Lordship Stephen Kumi of the Mpraeso Circuit Court.
Prosecutor Chief Inspector Beatrice Larbi explained that the barber will serve seven years each for the case involving the first two pupils and 10 years each for the 10 other pupils who reported their case later.
Mr Feyi wants parents to be concerned about their wards and take their reports seriously.
He also wants parents to ensure pupils do not stay out after bedtime.
“Parents must play their part in child protection. We need to protect the psychology of the child.”
Meanwhile, the pupils are expected to meet psychologists and go through a second medical testing exercise.
“We are bringing psychologists to erase the man-to-man see they have had in their mind. These are just six years and above boys.”
The second medical test is scheduled for Friday, December 3.
