Woman accused of raping friend with 'dildo' acquitted and discharged by court
The Accra Circuit, Court has acquitted and
discharged the woman who was standing trial for
allegedly inserting dildo into the vagina of
another woman. 

The accused person, Queenie Akuffo, was acquitted
and discharged on Wednesday morning after the
court, presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong
Adjin-Doku, ruled that the alleged victim
consented to the act. 

According to the court, a video documenting the
alleged act revealed that the alleged victim was
in full support of the act.

The judge held that the video showed that when
Queenie inserted the dildo into the victim's
vagina, she (victim ) was fully aware and did not
protest. 

In the said video, the judge held that the victim
was seen urging the accused person to perform the
act. 

The victim, Janet Amankwa, told the court that she
was intoxicated and, therefore, she did not know
what happened to her. 

But the judge held that in her evidence, it was
revealed that during interaction with a doctor,
she stated that the accused person inserted the
dildo into her vagina. 

"If she was intoxicated and did not know what
happened, how could she tell the doctor what
happened to her", the judge said.
