The police say they are holding Ghanaian celebrity, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa alias K.K.D for alleged sexual assault.
He was arrested Saturday night after a lady said to be 19-year-old filed a complaint against him.
The two were said to have had sexual intercourse in a bathroom of a hotel suite but the teenager claimed she was sexually assaulted by the fashion icon.
Initial reports said the icon had been arrested for alleged rape but the Accra Regional Police PRO ASP Afia Tenge said they are investigating him for sexual assault and are yet to file charges against him.
She admits the lady is not a minor but would not disclose her identity.
Per Section 103 of Ghana’s criminal code
“A person commits the offence of indecent assault if, without the consent of the other person he-
(a) forcibly makes sexual bodily contact with that person or
(b) sexually violates the body of that other person in any manner not amounting to carnal knowledge or unnatural carnal knowledge.”
They have however begun investigations into the case. The two were earlier in the day taken to the African Regent hotel where the incident happened as part of the investigations.
The police say when they complete investigations they would know the next line of action to take.
Lawyer for the icon, Nana Asante Bediatuo told Joy News the two had consensual sex Saturday night and KKD is baffled why she now says she was assaulted.
“There were other people around and it’s difficult for me to understand how a person can be forced to have sexual relations and the people around won’t hear cries or shouts for help,” he stated.
Joy News’ Kwakye Afreh Nuamah who was present at the Airport police reported that the CEO and Founder of the Finest Productions was wearing a pink long sleeves with shiny black shoes to match.
“He had a swag which one would be tempted to say he was from a party but the look on his face gave him away- it was one of distraught,” Afreh noted. KKD was also without his usual walking stick.
