Prosecution said the victim was however spotted emerging from Quaye’s room and the complainant was informed.

When the complainant quizzed the victim she informed the complainant about Quaye’s conduct.

Prosecution said a report was made to the Police and a medical report form was issued to the complainant to send the victim to the hospital for examination.

When Quaye was arrested he denied the offence in his caution statement.
