Cape Coast Circuit Court on Wednesday struck out the case of rape against a priest of the Anglican Church in Cape Coast, Reverend Father Emmanuel Quartey, following an advice from the office of the Attorney-General’s Department.
The priest has been remanded twice into prison custody by the same court, for allegedly raping a 20-year old lady, until he was released, following the striking out of the case against him.
The AG’s Department contended that the victim actually consented to having an affair with the priest, explaining that the lady did not make any noise to draw people’s attention to the incident.
It further wondered why the victim was not able to shout in the hotel room to draw the attention of the workers there for the necessary action to be taken.
