The Sekondi Gender-based Court has handed the man who committed incest by having sexual intercourse with his two daughters a 20-year jail-term. Joshua Mensa, 31, was convicted Friday morning after he pleaded guilty to four counts of unlawful child removal, incest and defilement of her two daughters causing one of them to get pregnant, Media General’s Paa Kwesi Simpson reported. The court presided over by Mrs. Rita Doku sentenced Mensah to three years on each on the count of incest and unlawful child removal as well as 20 years charge of defilement, all to run concurrently. “The judge told the man to go and serve the sentence and come back to look after the girls (children), and also cautioned the mother not be negligent by leaving her children in the hands of the man or any other man in such manner as she did again,” our correspondent reported. Mensah in 2017 took custody of the two girls – 10 and 14 year olds – from their mother in Accra and allegedly started defiling them.
