Police in the Jomoro District of the
Western Region have arrested a 42-year-old man for allegedly defiling his
17-year old daughter.
Anthony Tameklo, a clearing agent at
the Elubo border is reported to be having sexual intercourse with his first
daughter from 2013 until now.
The victim said her father had
sexual encounters with her twice or thrice every week. His last sexual affair
with her was on Sunday January 10, 2016.
According to the victim, it all started
when she was sent from Aflao to Elubo in 2013 to stay with her father.
She said her father forcefully slept
with her after enquiring if she had a boyfriend, to which she replied no.
Anthony Tameklo, according to his
daughter said the only way he would believe if she had a boyfriend or not was
if she lay in his bed for him to find out himself.
The 17-year-old victim said she was
in pain the whole night and the following morning after sleeping with her
father.
She told police she bled profusely
the following morning.
She reported her ordeal to her
mother who is based at Aflao but visits Elubo periodically.
This resulted in a fight between
both parents and the father denying the act.
Following the departure of the
victim’s mother, Anthony Tameklo threatened to cut off one of his daughter’s
ear if she ever mentioned the incident to her mother again.
According to the victim, her father
beats her mercilessly whenever she tried to resist or refuse his sexual
advances.
When neighbours confronted and
questioned why he continuously beats up his daughter, his defence was that she
was chasing men.
Sometimes, he gave her sleeping
tablets – which she ignorantly took and slept off – allowing him to have his
way with her.
She however notices she has been
touched in the morning due to pain in her abdomen and spots of blood on the bed
and fluid in her underwear.
The victim has a lot of assault
marks all over her body with a swollen right arm as a result of an
"electric wire" used by her father to beat her before their last
sexual encounter.
Anthony Tameklo, admitted the
offence and blamed it on his "unstable" wife and also on a spiritual
attack from his enemies.
According to him, he realised
what he was doing was evil and devilish and asked his pastors for deliverance
just when the police arrested him.
The victim has been sent to Half
Assini Government Hospital for examination and treatment.
