A former Attorney General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, will be serving as legal counsel for the 19-year-old house help suspected to have been raped by her Lebanese boss. The victim said the suspect beat her after his apparent displeasure with the coffee she had prepared for him and subsequently raped her.
Mrs. Appiah-Oppong said she was keenly following the case, amid indications there may have been some negligence on the part of some Airport police personnel. The former Attorney General, however expressed some satisfaction with the course of the investigations so far, and said she will ensure justice is served. The fact that the police jumped onto the case early bodes well for the investigation, she added.
“We are fortunate to have caught this one early so that the investigation can be done properly. Very often, by the time we become aware of a situation like this, time has elapsed, evidence is lost and it becomes very difficult to follow up on it. That is why we are very keen to follow up on this one to make sure that the proper investigation and proper prosecution is also done,” Mrs. Appiah-Oppong said.
