At a pre-sentencing hearing yesterday morning for former mason Adjuke Josiah, the court heard from the victim impact statement of the 15-year-old girl he raped back in 2018, of the pain and shame with which he has left her.
“I felt very painful and ashamed. I also felt very depressed. This incident left me feeling very shameful with all the people that found out my story,” Prosecutor Caressa Henry read on behalf of the victim from the statement.
According to the statement, the now 18-year-old spoke of the resentment she has for her mother whom she said disbelieved that she had been assaulted and thereby did nothing.
