The police officer stationed at the Operations Unit of the Bono Regional Police Command who sexually harassed a woman in a car which has since gone viral has been remanded by into a police custody by Sunyani District Court B.
Lance Corporal Victor Antwi-Yeboah was charged with two counts namely, Assault contrary section 84 of the Criminal Offences Act 29 and Indecent Assault contrary to section 103 of the Criminal Offences Act 29.
He however, pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him at the court presided over by Eric Denning but he was remanded to reappear on December 1, 2021.
Lance Corporal Antwi-Yeboah arrest followed the police service’s preliminary investigations into the video, in which he was seen continually touching the woman’s exposed thighs saying “you’re naked”, despite her pleas for the former to stop.
Meanwhile, “Internal disciplinary processes of the Ghana Police Service have also commenced in this regard,” police said in a statement issued on November 29, 2021.
The police assured the public it is committed to executing its mandate of enforcing the law to ensure the safety and security of everyone.
