16-Year-Old Accuses 51-Year-Old Man of Impregnating Her on Live TV; Suspect Arrested
A 16-year-old girl publicly confronted a 51-year-old man on Oyerepa TV’s Afutuo programme, hosted by Auntie Naa, accusing him of deception, exploitation, and leaving her pregnant after luring her into cohabitation.
The minor detailed how the man gradually earned her trust before the relationship escalated beyond her consent or understanding. Overwhelmed and lacking support, she sought justice and assistance on the live show.
The man admitted to the relationship and confirmed her pregnancy but denied paternity, intensifying the confrontation. The girl, in distress, maintained he was solely responsible and had abandoned her.
Given Ghana’s legal age of consent is 16, the case triggered immediate alarm. Police were alerted during the broadcast, leading to the man’s arrest for questioning.
Authorities are investigating potential charges of defilement and child exploitation while prioritizing the minor’s welfare and support.
The episode has ignited public discourse on protecting vulnerable youth, adult accountability, and the role of media in exposing abuse. The probe continues.
