A retired teacher, Seth Kwadwo Dese, 69, who is alleged to have
sexually abused his teenage daughter over the past two years,
is helping officers of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit
(DOVVSU) in Ho, with investigations into the matter.
The father-of-eight who was arrested in Ho on Tuesday has
admitted maintaining an amorous relationship with the girl
to prevent her from sleeping with other men.
In his caution statement, Dese, said apart from having sex with
the girl frequently, he often fondled her breast, inserted his
fingers into her private part, and performed oral sex on her,
to make her feel pampered and loved.

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Faustina Awumey,
Volta Regional Coordinator of DOVSSU, disclosed the news to the
Ghanaian Times, in Ho, Wednesday.
She said the victim, a 17-year-old Junior High School student,
initially lived with her mother at Kpetoe but moved to Ho to live
with her father, in 2019. ASP Awumey said the father and child lived in
a single room and the girl spent the night on the floor, but later Dese
convinced the girl to join him in bed at night.
The regional DOVVSU coordinator said the suspect sexually abused the
girl and warned her never to tell anyone about it.

The accused continued to sexually abuse the child until December, last year
when she started refusing to give in to the sexual advances from her father.
ASP Awumey said the girl’s stance to resist her father’s sexual advances angered
him (father) so he ordered her to pack her belongings and leave the room.
Subsequently, the girl reported the matter to DOVVSU, leading to the arrest of Dese.
Meanwhile, Dese has appealed to this reporter not to follow the story.
“I am a politician and once you carry the story in your paper, my reputation
will be destroyed forever”, he told this reporter at the DOVVSU Regional
Headquarters, as he fought back tears.
