Teenager arrested at Senya Beraku for alleged defilement of 15-year-old girl
Isaac Gyan, also known as Kwame Okoto, was arrested for the alleged defilement of a 15-year-old minor on Friday, May 22, 2026, in the Anomansa community of Senya Beraku. The incident reportedly occurred at approximately 6:00 am when the suspect allegedly lured the victim into his private living quarters under the false pretext of engaging her in a routine conversation. The victim narrated that "the moment she crossed the threshold into the room, Gyan quickly shut the door and turned the key, locking them both inside," and "He then aggressively turned on her and forcibly had his way with her."
The victim recounted that she "wept and desperately begged her attacker to release her, explicitly disclosing to him that she was actively menstruating at the time in a bid to stop the assault," but Gyan "completely ignored her physiological condition and brushed aside her frantic pleas." Following a formal complaint lodged by the victim's traumatised family, police apprehended Gyan at his hideout.
The suspect is currently being held in standard police custody, where he is actively assisting law enforcement officers with further detailed enquiries. Detectives are currently securing the necessary medical reporting documentation from the municipal hospital to solidify the state's case file before processing the suspect for arraignment before a court of competent jurisdiction on charges of defilement.
