Ewuraffe Orleans Thompson, the
19-year-old lady at the center of the rape scandal involving ace
broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwah could be sued by the State for her
decision to withdraw the case, a private legal practitioner has said.
According
to Francis Xavier Sosu, the State would be in its rights to press
charges against the alleged victim for ‘deceiving a public officer’ with
her allegations.
Orleans Thompson in a letter to the Attorney General Monday stated her desire to discontinue the case against the fashion icon.
The
two-page letter, was also copied to the Chief Justice, the Registrar of
the High Court and the top hierarchy of the Ghana Police service.
But
speaking to Morning Starr, Wednesday, Sosu said a criminal matter
before the court cannot be settled by families of the individuals
involved as appears to have been done in the case.
“Depending on
the basis on which the lady withdrew the case, two things can happen.
KKD would indeed have a right to go to court to seek redress against the
lady in question.
“And the state can also proceed against the lady for deceit of public officer, which is a crime under the law,” he explained.
