The court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku convicted Tetteh to six months jail term on each count. Sentences were to run consecutively.
Tetteh told the court that the two minors “forced” him to insert his fingers into their vagina.
“When I am alone, whenever I think about the act, I go and do it. I am not married and I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Judith B. Asante said the complainants are co-tenants residing at Town Council Line and the minors are their daughters.

Prosecution said he repeated the act on the two minors any time he is in the vicinity.
Three weeks ago, prosecution said, the parents of the victims detected an unusual behaviour of the minors and when questioned the narrated their ordeal to their respective parents and a report was made to the Police where two medical report forms were issued to them to seek medical care.
Tetteh in his caution statement admitted the offence.
