The denouement of the much-publicized Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) alleged rape saga is finally at hand; but perhaps it will be an anti-climax to what many expected.
Peacefmonline.com understands that Miss Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson, the lady at the centre of the rape charge against the broadcaster says she is no longer interested in the case.
She is said to have described as insensitive, the “media frenzy” that followed the arrest of the Ghanaian entertainment icon and unending social media buzz about the case, and thus wants to put the whole saga behind her and reorganise her life.
According to the alleged rape victim, since the unfortunate news went viral, it has been difficult for her to appear in public and cannot stand finger-pointing and muted gossips.
"God will give me justice," she said.
Miss Orleans-Thompson says going the full-hog will only worsen her plight and believes her God will heal and comfort her, because she has started undergoing counselling from church elders.
The 19 year old victim conveyed her disinterest and desire to see the charges dropped in a two-page letter dated 12 of January, addressed to the Director of Public Prosecutions at the Attorney-General’s Department.
The letter to discontinue the case was also copied to the Chief Justice, the Registrar of the High Court and the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police service.
Peacefmonline understands that the victim, together with her father, went to the Airport Police station on Tuesday and served a copy of the letter on the police.
What is unclear however, is whether the state will subsequently drop all charges against the ace broadcaster who has been in police custody since December 28, 2014.
Some legal luminaries say the Attorney General (AG) may consider the request of the lady but that the final decision as to whether to discontinue with the case or allow it to travel the full hog, will be influenced by the evidence available to the AG or the Police. |
