Wisdom Kusorgbor
An Accra circuit court has sentenced a pastor to 24 months in prison with hard labour for inserting his fingers into the genitals of a three-year-old girl.
Wisdom Edem Kusorgbor, head pastor of Soldiers of the Cross Ministries at Korle-Gono in the Greater Accra Region, was arrested in December, 2017, after the act and also used his manhood to brush the minor’s genitals, but could not penetrate.
He was reportedly giving his mobile phone to the victim to watch cartoons whenever he visited his mother, who is a co-tenant of the victim’s mother.
According to Chief Inspector Kofi Atimbire, on December 28, 2017, the convict visited his mother, but she had gone to town and took advantage of the absence of the victim’s mother and sexually assaulted the minor.
He was charged with indecent assault but he pleaded not guilty.
He was initially granted bail in the sum of GH¢8,000.00 with three sureties.
Although he denied the charges, the prosecution was able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and he was subsequently convicted and sentenced by the court, presided over by Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku.
