Once upon a time, a teenage school girl was allegedly rape by a young man of about 24 years of age.
The girl at the time was 15 years and seven months old.
She was a Senior secondary two student.
The man was arrested the next morning.
But the father of the girl went to the police station himself and bailed the suspect the second day.
Now, a human rights activist who has an organization, called 'The Girl's Child Rights' took the matter to court immediately he learnt about it and asked for the rearrests of both the suspect and the girl's father.
Now, a test was carried out on the girl and it proved that there was a forceful penetration into her which led to the broken of the hymen; thereby deflowering her!
The father of the girl took a lawyer.
The lawyer asked the court if the test carried out on the victim actually proved that the penetration was recent and also if it was due to the alleged rape.
To which the court admitted that from the medical report, it was recent and also as a result of the alleged rape.
The case was very fast. Two months later, the young man was found guilty of having an unlawful canal knowledge of a minor and the breaking of her virginity.
He was sentenced to a seven year jail term with hard labour. The father was however given a year jail term with an option of a fine of hundred thousand naira.
But both the judge and the girl's child's rights activist were disgraced when the father of the girl brought a year old boy to the court whom he claimed belongs to his daughter.
He also brought to the court the man who is the father of the boy.
The father of the girl lambasted both the Court, the medical report and the girl's child's rights activist for their unprofessional conduct.
He described his daughter as a mercenary prostitute who lost her virginity when she was eight years old!
